G'day Just to put the cat amongst the doves ( cannot spell pigeons ) .I fitted the olde bread tin tappet cover today and after a 4 hour search through tins and tins of s##t I found 4 different caps to fit the cover . One is of a brass finish , one chrome, another alloy, the other does not fit the TC cover as it has clips on the inside and rotates onto two pegs inside the neck of the cover ( TD or TF ) Witch is correct ? ( the brass one looks great ) Regards Ross in Tea Gardens

Joe The ones I have are as you described , one is plated and one is not,it is just brass with the oil types on it. The non TC one is plain Alluminium with no oil types on it. The fourth one has an enamel type finish with the oil types on it .possably Woolsey 4/44. Regards Ross
