That is a good deal on some caps that look to be in nice shape.

Speaking of sweet deals on Ebay, I recently picked up a pair of NOS t-top covers, dated 79, never used, new inside and out, so no stains on the white part, for $60 delivered. I couldn't believe the guy had a buy-it-now of $50  :o . I was the 3rd viewer and didn't hesitate to buy  ;D . I was afraid it was going to be a "too good to be true" thing, but I got them and they are the real deal.

Glad you're making progress on fixing your engine.
