Last one I bought--NOS--was from Gary Hemphill many moons ago.  Have 
heard there are Lucas 'repros' out there that are crap.  Had no luck 
with Bosch; leaked smoke like a sieve.  That surprised me; they might 
have been knock-offs, too.  Bought some 6-cyl distributors--same type 
but not for Healeys--just to get the parts but they arrived with broken 
caps.  Argh.

If you find a source, please let us all know (but tell me first).

      Does anyone have a source for a decent distributor cap? Can you
      even get Lucas? I bought a few from Moss and they were rubbish
      (for various reasons - some the plastic was too thin &amp;
      cracked, others the screws were crossed threaded etc.)
