Re: SER1 Distributor Caps

I have the original type as I'm trying to conform as closely to
specification as I can.  (Otherwise it would have a reconditioned 1997 cc
motor I have in the shed from a 1957 vehicle).  From the diagrams in the
catalogues it appears that the correct cap has less detail in the moulding,
straight sides and a very flat domed top with all 5 lead holes coming out
the side.  If the original style isn't easily available and its only the
physical look of the cap that's different, then I could go with the stepped
top cap.  The problem is that I don't know what the actual difference is.

There is potentially another option available as I have a distributor for a
series IIa 2280 cc marked 7 70 plus the distributor shaft and housing
from/in a 1997 cc motor (1955)  I'm using for some externals.  If needed I
could assemble a distributor for the 1595 cc motor using parts of these two
and then use the R245004/LU418871 cap option.

Cheers
Diana
