Example of unvented. Not mine. The original C23601 caps were not as well finished as the repros. Cast in a Mazak type high zinc content material that discolours easily after polishing & has surface inclusions. Don't try & clean up with acidic aluminium brightners. They will fizz away thanks to Zinc content & make inclusions worse. They only respond positively to mechanical polishing. I have 3 cars. My primary resto & 2 donors. All had/have the same caps.

Skimmed over my copy of J12 and cannot see where "fully interchangeable" is stated against any part number , there are many parts where this applies, but I cannot see reference to this in the list.

Absolutely, everything shows this to be the case Glyn, apart from the J12's we haven't seen, and the comments of Coventry Foundation, all posted literature proves the point.

See your own post below
then my reply
It was you that said the J12 normally states this, I know it was on the Bulletin. My point was that there appears to me, not a single part No. on my J12 that has any comment on any interchangeability, so your comment re "The J12 normally states this" did not appear correct.
