IH F-4 Mag..........

Wind is about 40 mph here or more....the ground that went north last week is going back south this week!
I have been in the shop assembling my W-30; on the F-4 mag there is a "cap" on the back; tear-drop shape...that retards the timing. The small hole on the side of it was partially broke when I purchased it- broke another piece today installing the rod. Hope some one will tell me that I can change that cap out? And find one? Thanks.
 
Points cover/breaker housing cover. Sort of a fragile pot metal casting. Easily replaceable. If you've removed it to clean the points, all that's left is to pull a cotter pin and swap it. Rotate the flat retainer out of the way to pull it; a couple little tabs index it to the points housing.

Looks like Rice Equipment has them. I need to replace mine on the F12, lots of wear at that hole.

When I picked up my F12 and then F20, it was quite a learning curve with those mags. Both were hard starting. One had a bad coil and the other had corrosion in the coil lead out. They start easy now.

Am hoping this one I bought off a member is good- he said it is. It looks ok...now how do I change that cap? Easy right ? Thanks.
