Trying to decide if worth keeping or just toss a set. Never know when a Stovebolter might need a set or a single cap. Should add that these are from a '55 235.

I even "Narrow" rods for other applications. I have on occasion also widened the space between the crank throws and have a CNC Machine Shop in Roseville do that type of precision work for me.
