914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ WTB: Need cap for Bosch "050" distributor

Posted by: anderssj Nov 19 2019, 06:49 PM

Want to buy a couple new/NOS distributor caps for my old Bosch "050" distributor. Part number for the cap is 231-081-413. I've already checked with the usual suspects (Pelican Parts, CB Performance, others) and they say the cap is no longer available. sad.gif

Looks like this:

Lemme know what you've got....

Thanks in advance!

Steve,
I found some a while back but never made the purchase, you might try these guys:

https://www.busdepot.com/9231081413

also put a 9 in the front of that part number.

I was actually looking for a rotor, since I have an 050 with a cap but no rotor blink.gif
Cheers,
Dominic

THANKS Dom!

I'll try them tomorrow. BTW, I have a possible source for a couple 050 rotors--I'll let you know what I find out.

Bus Depot says no caps on-hand, none at their suppliers, Bosch says NLA.

May need to start assessing other options.

Try "Glenn" on thesamba. His name is Glenn Ring. He'll have them or access to them if anybody does.

OK, I talked with Glenn. He sent me to CB Performance. They're selling what looks like a (Chinese?) knock-off of the Bosch 050 cap. I ordered one to see how well it fits/works.

Still looking for the real (Bosch) deal.
