RE: Adapter Tip
The one I expect for USA Cobras and 427 Cobras is the small diameter one with a taper at the end with a circumferential groove cut around the straight section near the taper. (There is a similar tip without the groove.)
I have examined, have, or have had ones with
• two different length body cylinders
• three different closed ends, two different pleated versions and a round cap design
• several different adapter tips, some tips could be ones owners swapped in somewhere along
• two different "GB 2800" embossed caps, i.e. both marked GB 2800 but they are embossed with two different patent numbers
All the parts except the adapter tips and cylinders themselves appear to be the principally the same and interchange so you can take two or more rough ones and usually build one really nice one from parts to suit the style you are after. This summer I took three bargain ones to make one pretty nice one for a friend's Cobra.
