Ive a lad who'll make up an exact cap kit for you based on a list for the chassis - and its dirt cheap too. He's really sound.

Will dig it out and send it on.

Guy's name is Luke. I sent him a cap kit list (monitor chassis was a different revision to my one) along with loads of photos. He put the kit together spot on. Was one cap left over, everything else was perfect.

I have dealt with bob roberts in the states for cap/flyback kits.
If you google the real bob roberts you should find him.
He is highly regarded on the forums.

the major problem is actually paying Bob Roberts. He doesn't accept credit card or paypal. You have to basically go to the bank and get dollars to post.

you can make an international euro payment via online banking to belgium using whatever that payment system he uses is.

EDIT: Auctionchex is the system. I bought a cable from him and the process was flawless.

auctionchex is the other system he accepts but auctionchex no longer accept credit cards. You can do an online transfer directly from your bank but many banks require you to visit the branch and sign approval to allow a transfer e.g. PTSB. If he had a way to just accept paypal or credit card it would so much handier.

That's interesting. I'm with AIB and just trasnferred to the designated euro account via internet banking. No branch visit required!

Or you could just go with Luke and get it for about $15 via paypal...!

I'd agree.

Less hassle to buy them individually from Farnell then jump through those payment hoops.
