New S2 Avant Nothelle N300 owner

[Tractor Dave]

Anyone know what wheel caps will fit my Nothelle alloys? In the inside they have made in Italy and Zeuss.
The hole diameter is 59mm outside with a lip inside at 56mm. I have had some Nothelle stickers re made. Flat would be best. I don’t have the originals unfortunately.
From a previous Audi driver magazine article, Nothelle were using OZ wheels on their conversions but I can’t see OZ anywhere on the wheel and these do not match the wheels in the article.

We’d completely understand if you had Dave, S2 ownership can drive you to it.

Got my Nothelle wheels back from powder coating. Unfortunately the Nothelle badges were just stickers and came off when sand blasted. I have spoken to a local sign maker and they are re producing a set for me. I also need to find hubcap’s as the originals were missing.

They look sooooo easy to keep clean!

[Tractor Dave]

Not sure. They need a serious refurb. I will check for makers marks.
Thanks to Shane for letting me have them

[Nuvo]

Bingo!
Very nice Dave, I forgot about this style of Nothelle wheel. They'll look great on your avant. Who makes them, is it ronal?

Everything Steve says above ^^^
Also!
The new material is probably thicker and you’ll have to push the handle hard against the door for the clamp to engage in the v in the bracket.

[Tractor Dave]

Thanks guys. I will have another play tomorrow.
I started work on the Coupe this afternoon

Handles gripping door brackets...

Three things ive learnt:
Is the allen key actually in the allen bolt? There 'should' be a plastic guide moulded into the handle to guide key into bolt. Mine are missing and it's easy to think you are doing the bolt up when you arent.

Make sure the clamps are open. They need to have not closed up again somehow as that will make it difficult for the bracket to slide in.

Make sure you 'steer' the bracket into the slot formed by the two halves of the clamps. Its possible to feel engaged but the bracket is actually next to the clamp and free to move. This is tricky as you cant see in there so its done by feel. Maybe try adjusting handle position one way then the other if you find it doesnt work when trying to refit.

Keep going, it came off so will go back!

Looks good from here. I too had some issues trying to refit the door grab handle after recovering my door card. I think is it just a combination of the tight holes in the handle, the odd angle you have to access it from and the age and warp of some of the components...?
