Does anyone know where a 91A-2162-A master cylinder cap can be purchased? The plastic cap that came on the stainless steel sleeved master cylinder I purchased in 2020 for my 1947 5-passenger coupe shattered when I tried to remove it. Have tried numerous on-line vendors. Most of them say out of stock, and the one I found that assured me they had one sent me a 1A-2162 cap (1949-1960) instead. (Previously made the mistake of buying an NOS 1A-2162 cap on eBay.) I even tried buying a complete master cylinder (Dorman M1050) that didn’t come with the same type of plastic cap that broke on me expecting to use the cap. Turned out the metal cap with a 1/2” cap vent machine screw was glued so firmly to the master cylinder it could not be removed even with a cheater bar. How do you even use this thing? All I need is a new cap. Where can I find one?
