Cam Tower Caps
 
Looking for sources of Billet cam caps. I have a set from Instant G, but I think that was a one time deal, and now I need one for the race engine. Where might one find these? Clewett, Smart Racing??

Thanks!

Andrew

How many do you need? I have a cam blockoff plate coming off of my cam tower.

ONQRACIng 02-04-2012 09:26 AM

I need the bolt on type, not the pressed in factory version..

Got one Local... Instant G, to the rescue... Thanks All for your offerings..

No problem. Just bought a press in cap to replace the bolt-in cover plate on my tower. So mine will be in the classifieds right soon.

Kevin,
Shoot me a picture of the plate you have, I may be interested in it as well..

Andrew,

Here's a picture of mine. It's got the o-ring seal like Jimmy's, but not as elegant. His is machined to mirror the shape of the camshaft housing, whereas mine is simply round.

It has an o-ring groove that measures 1.678 ID and 1.926 OD. But i'm not sure the o-ring is absolutely necessary because the camshaft retainer gasket (the one used behind the big round plate inside the chain housing) works too. But, I suspect the o-ring idea results from an o-ring's ability to be sourced most anywhere (and can be reused in a pinch), compared to the Porsche-specific cam gasket? I'll include a gasket since i've got a number of extras. Also can have the M6 screws used with it.

$60 shipped to you?

Looks like Smart got hit by the economy? Would have thought they could weather the storm..

Sent you a PM, sump only it seems..

And your cap IS the style I was looking for..

KTL 02-12-2012 11:51 AM

PM'd you also.

I heard SRP got absorbed by Flying Lizards awhile back and their interest in continuing the SRP old car support apparently isn't there anymore. Bummer.......

FYI,

I called the on line number before the new year and reached a human. They filled my order at that time.
