Hi,
I've read that the black plastic lug bolt covers for VW bugs will work for 914s.
What years/models VW covers will fit? Or what size? Most of the ones I've found are 19mm, but my lug bolts (for Mahles) are 38mm.

Don't remember, but I think they are 17 mm. Stock lug bolts for steel wheels on a 914 and later model bugs.

I could go measure one, but.....................

stock lug head size on a 914 are 19mm (fuch, mahle, steel)
most vdubs are 17mm
i have vdub bolts in my 914 that are 17mm smile.gif

the 38mm you refer to on your mahles should be the length, not the head size wink.gif

Thanks.
I tracked down some universal 19mm black lug caps so let's hope they work out. Much cheaper compared to $3 each from performanceproducts.

I think the covers from the '75-ish superbeetle fit.

I tried "19MM Universal Black Lug Caps" (C16-111-1005-BK) and while they fit onto the lugs, they don't seat fully. I'll keep looking.

Next I shall try "LUG NUT CAPS, SPORT, BUG 75-79" biggrin.gif

Stoddards has them inexpensively if you buy a whole set.

All air cooled VWs had 19mm wrench size lug bolt heads, and all Vanagons did, too. Most water cooled VWs use the 17mm wrench size. The Cap'n
