    I need some help and guidance. I would like to put the yellow Dino wheel caps on my campagnolo wheels. The cromadora ones were glued on. The campy wheel center cap is a separate piece held on with a ring. Does anyone make the Dino center cap for the campy wheels?

    Not sure whether there was any reference to the badges for the centre of the "DINO" hubcaps - these are 50mm, whereas I think those for the 206 are a different size.
    Superformance appear not to list a 50mm badge, so please does anyone know of a source of these in good quality and at a sensible price?
    I was just about to get a batch made but do not know who else might need some. Any observations please? Many thanks.

    AFAIK the 308 GT4 used the same yellow 'Dino' badge as the 246 on the wheels. The hubcap was totally different but the actual badge was the same. Superformance sells self adhesive badges that work and are cheap but they are nowhere close to correct. I am in the process of making perfect reproductions. It has been a long process and is a ton of work but I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. More info is here:

    Will the ones that you are having made fit into the campy wheels?

    I do not think so. They will be exact to original so you would have to measure an OEM one and compare. I currently do not have OEM cap dimensions but I would assume that it is not a direct install but maybe they could be made to work.

    Are you desiring to put the Yellow plastic Dino centers intended for the Cromodora wheels on the centers for the silver Campagnolo wheels?

    Just want to be clear as I might not understand this

    JNK, you're looking for a piece that never existed, it seems. If you found or made one that fit, it would be "incorrect," woudn't it?

    If true, then I doubt if anyone would have fabricated those caps, as the demand would be so small.

    I agree that it was not an option, but I have seen Dino's with campy wheels and the yellow center. I was wandering if someone was making them as an aftermarket item.
    The German Website Dino Parts has a picture of campy wheels with the yellow center. These are the after market aluminum campy wheels. It looks pretty nice. I tried to get in touch with them but have had a difficult time getting a hold of them.

    My original centres where a loose fit in the campy wheels so I simply got a length of fuel line from one of the racing karts and wrapped a length round like a rubber circlip; it just plugged in nicely and has held for years, even going up a hill climb last month.
    (Actually the rear offside was removed prior to the event by a garage that bled the brakes and forgot to replace it.)

    That might be your best bet, JNK.

    I love how the Campagnolo wheels fill the fender without the flares. Quite a stunning design combination .

    The Campagnolo wheel centers are a raised surface more like a dome while the yellow Cromodora centers are flat so they will not fit per se, but if you get a flat piece of aluminum the same thickness/size then adhere the yellow wheel centers to it then they should fit.
