RobH Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) It's is rather a special shape and there don't seem to be any sources for spares. http://www.mgaguru.com/mgtech/faulty/ft045.htm Maybe your best bet is finding an old cap that can be cannibalised. I wonder if the Distributor Doctor can help? Edited August 10, 2023 by RobH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobH Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Just for info the thread is 4BA and the screw dimensions are : If you know someone with a lathe it would be easy to make them from a standard 4BA steel screw.
