Hi
I Have a thick flange 1275 cooper s block. It only has the centre end cap with it. other two were lost before I bought it.
What is my options ? find second ones and line bore ? or a new set and line bore ?
Any advise would be good.
Thank you
Peter

There are a few vendors who sell repo caps.

I would go for the APT ones with a Set of good ARP Bolts!
I am very happy with my ones...

You could go either way as a 'fix' but working from new caps will be easier and give a better result.

Re: cooper s block . two end caps missing
Pretty much all suppliers will be able to sell you a set of caps. The expense in the operation isn't the caps it's the machining that they will need.
Expect to pay £400 +.
No point just doing 2, do them all, it won't cost any more.
