				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.

			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.

			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. $60 shipped to you?   BTW, speaking of SmartRacing? I went to their website shortly ago........... NO LONGER AVAILABLE.  @#$%, that sucks BIGTIME

			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.
