Same cap as all Morris minors after 1953. Any cap will fit but some have leads going up and some come out sideways plus some are screw terminals and some are push-in. Google Morris Minor Distributor Cap. Probably all made in India/China now and shipped to the UK! :D

Remove middle carbon pin by carefully pulling it with your fingers. Small spring inside.

We went to Sri Lanka in Jan 2000 to visit Anton Kamp Nielsen. Our driver for the week was a taxi driver called "P. P." Pathmasiri who owned a black Minor. he lived right on the coast just north of Galle.

You can surely buy a cap locally Sandun - and there should be no need to disturb the centre carbon and spring.
