Afternoon All:
I see brown Lucas and black Lucas caps for sale, what color would be correct for a 60 TR3A?
Thanks, Tinkerman

I think the original Bakelite material was a brownish color. Most of the modern reproduction caps however are black.

Tinkerman,

Not absolutley sure but my 1959 TR3A which sat in various locations since 1967 had a brown distributor cap.
