    This wheel cage cap is not just a cover but is an integral part of the changing mechanism. It also deserves mention as being one part you don't want to remove, unless there is a very good reason to do so. Note the very fine but interrupted threading. Beginner locksmiths will remember the care required to install mortise cylinders without cross threading them. Well those 32 tpi mortise cylinders are a piece of cake compared to these almost 2" x interrupted 40 tpi caps.
