Thanks. Expensive little buggers. Looked online and they are $29 each although I guess any part less than $100 is a "deal". :)

Not sure about when I first “wanted” a Porsche but do remember looking at a really beat 1959 356 back in 1970. Also looked at a 1959 MGA coupe. Ended by buying a 1968 MGB with 10,000 miles on it...

Update and Thanks to you all

I bought a new cap and did the drive around "easy bleed" and so far so good. The car has not gone wee wee on the floor or parkling lots and haven't had any condensation under the cover. :)
