Cheers all!

Anyone has a picture of Duduco Distributor cap by chance? Someone has a set for sale, but I want to see how legitimate part actually looks like? And is BERU and Duduco Distributor have any relation to each other (aka, BERU is a reboxed Duduco) by chance?

BERU indeed I found the pictures, any one wanna guess where? @gsxr :peep: Index of /images/M119/EZL/caps+rotors

You can see photos of my BERU (reboxed Doduco) distributor caps in my Top-End COVID job from last year.

Here.

Beru / Doduco cap:

There was speculation that Beru is reboxed Doduco, theoretically the new/improved Doduco, as the originals had issues (mentioned somewhere on the forum). However, I've never seen confirmation of this, and also do not have any photos of an original OE Doducu cap with MB part number on it.

:tumble:
 
Thank you for the info, gentlemen, appreciate it!

Unfortunately I will not be able to see for myself, as it happens, only 1 was found in stock, and that is obviously no use to me.

I got the email with those Rockauto RSS feed, I've added to cart crap load of basic maintenance for Pap's Cadillac (filters, wipers, ceramic pads, bulbs and such).

I indeed decided to check what's on clearance for R129: among basic things, like premium Bosch wipers for $4, air Purolator air filters for $4, various bulbs and such - Doduco Distributor Cap, wholesale closeout. It had a picture, actually look exactly as what you guys have shown of BERU, all black, very shiny interior surface. At $50 each, I was willing to try it, but received an email few hours later that unfortunately only 1 was in stock...

I don't per say need these right away, but "a need for well priced inventory" inside voice said "why not?" Well, NOT is was...

Still, happy with other crap load of bargains for all the cars in the family.

Apparently the email receipt from cancellation of cap order had a link to the actual part that was offered as Doduco wholesale closeout, indeed looks exactly as @gerryvz posted Beru, you can even see a faint Beru print on the side of the cap:
