[WANTED] Brake master cylinder screw lid needed - 1966 Valiant

[kiwigtx]

Hi guys,
My buddy Cliff (MowPar) is on the search for a screw lid for the single-pot master cylinder in his 1966 Valiant. I know it's an A-Body...so I will advertise there also...but thought I would start off here.

Prefer NOS or excellent condition lid - the originals are steel, and when they 'freeze' up on the master cylinder, people have a tendency to use pipe Stilsons (wrench) to crack the thread open....which ruins the lids.

Pictures below....because we all know that a thread ain't worth it without 'em...

Total OD of lid is 78mm (3.07") , and thread depth is 18mm (0.708")
One breather hole in the top, and two breather holes inside

A quality plastic lid would also be considered if anyone knows where they might come from.
Standing by for the flood of replies.....Cliff hopes to get this Valiant all minted up in the next few months...hay-making is nearly over for the season.
Thanks.
Roger

The caps used here in the US were much different than the one in your pic - thinner and shaped differently. I will take a look later this morning and see if I have one left - I normally throw both the MC and cap out as I always convert to a dual MC for safety.

Changing to a dual master will be an option of course....Cliff was hoping to do this the easy way ....or at least try to.

Thanks...look forward to what you might find.

Sorry! Didn't come up with any single caps at all. Try contacting @65dartcharger he might have some of the US style
