John and others.
As rough as it looks the details are there, if you want an accurate one. John, i wouldn't mind getting one if you're planning a run of them. I'd like one without the hex machined onto it. Just plain round. I will be at W&P. The Rotherham fitting is nothing to do with it.

Thanks Lynn.
Thanks for the details lynn. Just a couple of questions, is the thread 7 threads per inch? i guess it'll be a BSF form, so if it is 7tpi then it looks like 1 3/4 bsf thread. Is the cap made of steel or brass?
Will see what i can do before war and peace. I just need to find something to gauge the threads. I have been told there is an hydraulic endcap that looks very similar. John. Last edited by John A. Rippingham; 03-06-14 at 12:42.

John, I think there is a total of 7 threads. It is cast steel. (to speed up manufacture and reduce material consumption, I guess)

Maybe not
I'll have a look at the cover on my carrier, should be able to workout the tpi, but it has had a few knocks over the years so is shaped like an egg!

Many are like that John, with not so many having the caps.
