I just put new front rotors on my '73 1.7L and with the new grease caps, the alloy wheel center caps will not go on. Any ideas? Maybe I'll have to shave them down? I used good German parts, so......?

Are the new grease caps higher than the old? Maybe they were a VW 411 part. They used the same calipers and rotors.

Either the grease caps or the center caps are not the right parts. We've recently seen some grease caps that were too wide, IIRC. I don't remember where they came from, but they worked otherwise.
