I picked up a set of the ISP's octagonal caps for my early Rivis and I'm very pleased. They are well made and look great however I did have a few issues though. First they fit great on three of the four wheels [go figure]. This was an issue with the wheel. For some reason the hole in one wheel was just a fraction to small but a few minutes with the Dremel [on the wheel] and all was good. The second issue was the rear axles of my '69 were a bit to long. I think the original plastic caps were a little deeper so I picked up a set of 3/8" spacers and I'm good again. I also had an issue with the dropped spindles with a set of CB Performance disc brakes. The lower BJ on the left side rubbed on the rim. A little more help with the CIP spacers and I was good to go again. I like the look of the early polished Rivi's so these few tweaks didn't really bother me. Liek I said before, ISP's capos are really well made and look good.

those spacers come behind the wheel? that maybe a problem for me considering i have a type3 and not much space left on the rearwheels, but the riviera's tuck in pretty nice so i can make it fit i guess.

thanks for the info.

Yes, the spacers are behind the wheel, but this may not be an issue with the traditional Rivi's, I've seen lots of folks running them for 30+ years on type 3's without any issues. This may be something unique to the early style like mine. I could have always machined a quarter inch or so off the end of the axle which would have solved that problem but considering these wheel swill probably be temporary, I didn't want to get to deep into modifying.

I don't know how much time Anthony spends in the Lounge so you might just try to contact him directly through the biz. http://www.vwispwest.com/home.php I know he ships internationally. Also, make sure you tell him which caps you need. the two pictured above are not interchangeable.
