Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS Affter some body posted on the other thread that his had a crack in it I decided to look at the two I just bought. Both of them have the same cracks.
Might pay to look at yours |
Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS Yep, junk. I have four of the 'new' ones that I purchased for raffle give-aways. All had multiple stress cracking, up to 1/2" long, extending from the pressed in center contact. The best one only had a few, less than 1/8". The cracks are tight, only visible as a light reflection at an angle through the clear plastic. My big question: How many black caps have similar invisible fractures?

Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS Those cracks are super easy to fix. Go to your nearest hobby shop that sells model airplane building supplies and get a bottle of "Thin CA" glue. Drip some into the cracks and watch them disappear forever.

Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS Why would you buy something you have to take home and super glue? send them back .
|
Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS 2 that I ordered from Mikes-A-Fordable came with these cracks, I called them and they sent me 2 replacements. Very good service!
|
Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS I have TWO with the FORD SCRIPT & both have a small crack, but you cant feel it from either side..
|
Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS I just looked at the 3 I bought. The one I put on the car is perfect, the other two have the crack. I did not see it as they are still in the package. I apologize if my supportive post caused people any problem or issue.

Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS With the cracks, do they work??

Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS If you purchased them from Mike's, give them a call and they will take care of your problem. They are very helpful. It is good that nearly all of our major distributors work with high integrity.

Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS I spoke to Mikes today. He will make good on all, just let them know and they will exchange. This is the first batch, maybe some growing pains. Mine has a visual crack, but I cannot feel it running my nail over it, on the car it works fine. I got it on the week end special, so for $7 not worth sending it back. It works, I'm okay.
The people who have the 80's version said that theirs did the same thing. |
Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS Did you notice on there you tube video that the Model A was not firing on one or two cylinders ? I wonder if it could be from the cracks ??
|
Re: Clear Distributor Caps PROBLEMS I think they are cool, I bought 2 from Mikes
