I can't remember the details right now, but there has been debate over the years about those flip caps with the round 'T' handle. I think they were made by another firm as an aftermarket replacement for the BSA caps?? Lex has the story. Ron
Ah, Ron, that's why you asked! I was talking to Henk about this last sunday, and he avoids them like the plaque, as they are only seen on postwar rebuild pictures, never ever on early or prewar bikes. (the brass ones with the rounded T)
Then there is the patent date of 1942, see picture below, it was all on here a couple years ago anyways.
Cheers,
