Re: what caused this?
What caused what?
The end of the centre protrusion has broken off. Normally this sticks through the side cap and a thick O ring type of deal helps hold the two pieces together. What probably happened is that the side cap stuck in place, and the cap broke by being levered off. I have filed the od of the inner caps down before now to make them fit. Mart. |

Re: what caused this?
If that is an original bakelite cap, maybe the old bakelite just failed. Replace with a plastic one?
