By the look of it, you won't be able to get centre caps on two of those wheels. The wheel centres are bigger. I had the same problem with two of mine and had to have sleeves machined up to fit into the wheels. |

The bottom two in your picture looked like they had less meat between the centre and wheel nut holes, but if they all measure the same it must just be the picture.

There where a handful of early factory pick-ups and a company that converted them too. Unfortunately an IVA would class it as a commercial vehicle, and there is no test for modified commercials. Also the van is far too rare a car to do anything that would change the base vehicle permanently. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

The clutch has been getting slowly worse for a while. After a short drive on Monday it became pretty bad to drive.
