Scott, 
Thanks again, with your help I easily ordered two of the caps from Defender.  Because I knew Orlando would be worried I had them shipped next day so that I can install before the weekend.  Hopefully now he won't read a story about a Catalina C-320 blowing up in Stillpond, MD. 


Thanks, 
Herb

I found this quickly on Defender's web site by searching on the Forespar 
part number.  There is also a close up photo there, which shows the 
"duck bill" valve -- the little rubber insert -- inserted into the cap 
upside down!  The correct installation has the pointy end pointing down. 

The bad photo is here:

I will try Defender.  In the mean time I bought some cork stoppers that should work as a  temporary fix.   Am going out for the weekend and don't have time to find them before that.
