Has anyone put one on a D15? I can't get the dust cap to sit on the housing properly - even without the magnetic sleeve sitting on the distributor shaft. The instructions say that the center hole in some dust covers may need to be enlarged to clear the magnetic sleeve. What is the best way to do this?

This is the first time I have come across this issue. I've put them on D17s and WD45s with no problems before.

Thanks for any feedback.

Pretty much the same exact distributer as the other two.

Make sure that the dust cap and distributor are free of any possible dirt, then use a small rattail file to carefully (it only takes a little bit) go around the dust cap center hole until it fits!
