I'm intrigued by the thread related to flue caps. I wonder if the
lack of such caps is the reason that we have all of those refr
problems on the list.. and if it's why mine won't work well either!
;-)

Does anybody know of a source for a flue cap which will stay on? I'm
not anxious to wear a margarine bucket around (and not just because
of the trans-fat problem!)

I'm a fairly new Westy owner, and had heard about the importance of
the cap.. so I ordered one from one of the vendors on the list. Since
I'd heard these were often "stollen", I thought about ordering a
couple, but failed to do it.  The sucker was a *&^% to get on over
the metal flanges.. it kept springing out of the rubber base. I
didn't feel at all good about this sort of 'fit', and sure enough the
damned thing was gone by the time I got to the grocery store and
back. (I'm sure nobody at that store has any interest in lifting a
flue cap!)

I've been watching Westies as I drive around the past month or so.
There are lots of them here in Southern California where I live. I've
probably "surveyed" 150 Westies in the time since I've started this
little observation.. and I've not seen a single white plastic flue
cap!
