oldbury863 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I have found out the hard way that the 3 pronged bayonet cap fitment on the Herald and Vitesse seems rather unique. Seemingly unable to locate a decent chrome locking cap, I 'invested' less than £2 on a new seal for the old one from Rimmers. It doesnt fit! (part no RS1441 with 'multiple applications') The new seal is 50mm O.D but the cap is 45mm. I have emailed Rimmers and they are suggesting that maybe my cap is not original. It certainly looks original to me but I would appreciate if someone could measure the I.D of their cap compared to mine. It may prevent future mistakes like mine where I chucked the original part, 'confident' that a replacement was available! I did manage to trim it down, but doesnt anyone sell the correct part?

glang Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Must admit I just bought a piece of neoprene rubber sheet off ebay and cut my own. Far better than cork and fits properly😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
