Coil Wire Caps

Post by Seadog » Wed Aug 15, 2018 10:05 am

Has anyone found a source for CB aluminum coil wire caps? A long shot, I guess. Plastic versions are available, but I'd like to keep it original, if possible.

Thanks, G. Looks as if the plastic caps are the only way to go for now. I’ll keep looking.

No worries G.
