Default Sierra Grease Caps

Does anyone know where I can get hold of some Sierra grease caps?

I tried my local Ford spares today but they told me they no longer sell them...

Are there any other alternative grease caps that I could use?

Thanks,
Nathan

Are we talking about the dust covers for front uprights? Because Ford defiantly do sell them. I got some recently. Around £6 a pair I think.

For the front hubs, I'm refurbishing them but the existing ones are knackered.

Thanks,
Nathan

Can you tell me what Ford dealership you bought them from? As I've phoned round a few local dealerships but they are all saying the same.

Cheers,
Nathan

If its the metal domed grease caps you want, this is the ford part no. I used about a year ago.

Grease cap part no. 6142524 £2.91 + vat, and the lip seal if you need that too 1637281 £7.52 + vat


Lip oil seals part no.
Hope

top tip
tack a nut on the old one and pull it of with a slide hammer or lever
this will ensure its not dammaged and could be reused
