Distributor cap HELP!

Just a note , a friend owns a magneto business and uses xxx new distributor caps he buys in volume. He has a employee check each cap as they come in 100 at a time, not unusual to send 25 back as the contacs are loose crooked etc.....

In my experience occasionally the rotor side brass 'points' require a gently tap to renew contact with the spark plug wire sockets on the the opposite side of the cap.
A nylon headed tiny hammer works well.
OR
Just get them from Vanpelt........his are the no hassle at all variety.

Charlie, wouldn't the "gentle tap" cause another problem by breaking the brass loose from the phenolic? What is to prevent it from returning to the open position?
