I had this problem in 1960 with my '51 Ford. I busted a middle main cap. I went to the junkyard and got some scrap caps, and then stopped at the auto parts store for some "Plasti-Gage". The first cap fit perfectly. Everyone seems to underestimate the quality of Ford engineering in this period. It was second to none.

I'll bet they all would have fit perfectly.
