Frank, have you looked at yesterdays post by Andrew34ruby of Hunton Steam Rally, the cover on the grey Opal is pretty much as I described but a bit slack and with a printed or painted logo.
Duncan, I have been keeping my eye open for a metal WB cover for my 10 cabriolet, the outside diameter of the ten wheel is virtually identical to the seven but because of the wider tyre section it would need to be about half an inch wider than one for a seven. Presumably it would not be too difficult to start with a slightly larger disc and make the two halves a little deeper. If they could be offered to ten as well as seven owners it would increase the potential market - although I think ten owners are just as tight fisted as seven owners! The stylised A at the top of the cover would be a pressing I suspect rather than a casting and some thought would be necessary as to the best way of reproducing these. 3D printing ?
