Distributor cap problems

Does anyone know of a quality distributor cap for my 60 MK1 BN7? I bought a new one from Moss and cut my bumblebee wires to length. Then on the first one instead of punching through and making contact through the copper conductor, it pushed the brass seat on the inside of the cap out where the screw is. Tried a couple of times only to have the same thing happen. Taiwan cap.

I've seen Beck-Arnley caps on the famous auction site which, if they're truly NOS and not new cr_p should be of good quality. Try it. Near $50 though but beats walkin' home...

I bought the Bremi NOS German made cap. We'll see. $49.95. Just for fun I tried another location and it did the same thing. Instead of cutting through the insulation it just pulled the brass post out. Arghh
