There were two different types , the early type had a countersunk hole that took standard steel wheelnuts (not the best way to hold an alloy wheel on )the later just normal mag nuts , I had my earlys drilled so I could run the mag nuts .

Hey Graham,

Stewart's right. I bought 4 replica Tasman caps from Wheels Australia last year for $62.50 each, which included the casting itself and enamelling. Paul Hughes is a very friendly guy there and he can even locate Tasman original caps for the same price as a replica (at least that was the case when I last had contact with him).

Here is a set of replicas:
