Subject:Fresh Water Tank Drain Cap - Non VW replacement source?
From:Pablo

Okay,
  so I have read through the archives both here and on the Samba regarding the drain cap.

  Replacement caps can be had through Terry K. and the Bus Depot.  But I hate the fact they both want to charge $25 plus for a plastic cap that probably costs 35 cents.

  I still have not heard of a replcement option that is the correct thread pitch.  Even Delta Six does not have them, I have checked with them personally.

  There has to be a cap somewhere on a common over the shelf product that fits....So any updates?  From what I have read, the pre '87 westy caps are different from the post '87 westy caps.  When I bought my Westy, it was through an inheritance and the executor had no idea where it could be...So I do not have an old cracked cap to repair or compare with.

  Any new ideas or reports of success with a replacement that fits?
