    I have tried very hard to get Cawi to make them - even offering to order 1000 at a time. I have even offered to get them to send us the pressed cap so we can add the spout hole make the spout and braze them in - returning them for plating and assembly. And they still cant be bothered!

    In fact, they are due to stop production all together soon...

    Thanks, I found an alloy cap with vent in the shed last night that worked on my 430 tank and I just wondered?
