Nice engine bay. looks like mine (not).

That was a pic I found on clubgti whilst looking for info about your cap, I have met a couple of people there who have done the conversion. I thought someone over there might have been able to answer your question, unfortunately, so far no luck. Here is the thread:-

A lot of renaults have the same style of cap but i'm unsure if it would fit on the golf 16V distributor.

I remember reading somewhere of the 16V into MK1 conversion and the leads coming out of the side of the cap is needed to clear the master cylinder, fitting the 22mm one from the 16V gives you enough clearance with the standard cap I understand.

tried a Renault 5 cap yesterday. Did'nt fit.......

i was under the bonnet of a renault clio williams 2 2ltr 16v the other day and i tell you  the cap on that looked pretty damn close to what you guys are looking for although i couldnt say for sure if somebody can give me the diameter and depth of the golf 16v one maybe i can find out
cheers kev

Do the Renaults use the same lead ends as the VW? . Mine has a "pin" in the dist cap that goes into the centre of the lead, what about a Audi 80 16 valve (engine mounted n/s) they may come out at 90 deg. May be worth a look, Steve.
