I have been given hub caps* - sorry, dust covers - for the Champ, but to fit them need to find the Cleveland 158-00200 Cap Hubs. Spruce have the ring grease seals also required but nothing showing for this part number.
Any (useful) advice welcome.
Many thanks chaps

Re: Dust cap fittings
Don Jones who sells on Ebay often has these parts.

Re: Dust cap fittings
When you get these things and install them, make sure of clearance with the cotter key and the end of the axle. I have found some old parts that didn't quite fit together like you would expect. jrh

I made a couple for the last Champ project. Just used a .040 2024 disk with a nutplate for the cap and three holes. Then used three bushings and long screws to mount it.

Re: Dust cap fittings
Thanks for that - I ordered from you last week or so, but forgot to say so here... 
They seem to be stuck in British Customs. Hopefully they'll roll their way out soon

Re: Dust cap fittings
I am arriving at the conclusion that the Lusocmbe pn48520 may be the same as the cleveland 158-00200, but I need some help such as an IPC blow-up, expanded parts list or similar reference to be sure.
I have a bunch of them if this is the case.....
