I did remove that cap once to check the internal membrane, this might have weakened it - probably a stupid move on my part.
We'll see how this new one holds up. Looks to be mold injected rather than 3D printed.
Nice! Will follow along how it holds up. I have an M56 VC sitting on my top shelf and who knows when I will install it, but the cap is broken as well.Quote:

Paris Cap
Just finished rejuvenation and cleaning of the leather with Leatherique product. It is day and night difference! I haven't done it in few years and forgot what difference that product makes. Pictires do not do the justice.
Leather is significantly softer and more pleasant to touch.
I will be doing the same 2 days/ 2 step process on my wagon next week.
Also, applied ceramic coating to the wheels to mitigate the brake dust. Should keep the wheels a bit cleaner for longer.

Seems the Ukraine cap is the exact same as what Will got. Whenever I end up getting the VC on I will buy just that - my diaphragm is still good, just needs a bit of cleaning.Quote:

My experience as well; it arrived sooner than quoted and quite nicely packaged. I'm impressed with this seller (same seller as the cap I got). The link you posted is the seller's kit that has the membrane, plastic membrane piece, spring, and cap. Nice to get everything if someone is unsure about the condition of the membrane.Quote:

Replaced the shark fin gasket. Took about 2 hours or so. That double-sided tape is a pain in the butt to remove.
