Rover 216 Distributor cap

Hi,

Does anyone know the part number for a distributor cap for a 1991 Rover 216 with a Honda engine?

The one that was supplied to me by Camberley Auto Factors is the wrong one.

Thanks in advance!

216 Head gasket head ache. New gasket doesn't fit

On the back row, the holes for the dowels don't line up with holes on the block or the head - the result is that the dowels won't go through. Have I bought the wrong one? I thought maybe I'd be...
