Hi, I bought this Minifin on ebay thinking I might clean it up, polish it, repair the defect, close off the breather outlet, and drill a vent hole in the cap. I've always liked the look since first seeing the aftermarket ones in the catalogs, (no longer made)CAM6822 is Superceded by: FP26
. It appears to be an original piece.
Does anyone know by looking at it about how old it is? What it might have come from, (a Mini Cooper?).
And the little prongs on the bottom? Common at one time? I test fitted a gasket, they are actually a little longer than the gasket is thick (?). Do they indicate anything to anyone other than they are just to hold the gasket in place before the advent of gasket adhesives?
Thanks!
