Are these the period-correct plug caps I'd need?

Or fake (Thailand)?

There was a 810 issue at the end which didn't come with the metal covers.
As your bike is one of those I'd say the GREY plastic is what was used by the time yours was issued. .....................lm

LM, aren't the grey plastic ones just the troublesome metal shrouded type with the metal shrouds removed?

For anyone who fancies the authenticity of the metal ones, they are available as Royal Enfield parts at a fraction of the price you see the 'genuine' originals being sold for.

I have pair on my CB77 and they are virtually indistinguishable from the original? metal type which may, or may not have been original equipment on the bike. I think that depends on the year of manufacture..

Hello Dennis.
Trying to track the numbers for those caps is like being BLIND as there are not bike numbers at the times any changes were made as to have or not have metal covers.
600 was metal 810 was plastic but no mention as to bike number.
Were I to want to have metal covers I wouldn't look so much for price as I would correct.
I've purchased MANY, MANY of these bikes and NEVER a set of metal covers.
Back about 1985 I ordered some caps and when they came in with metal I returned them as I wanted the grey plastic which I did get when the feller ordered the next issue number what ever that was.
Haven't seen any info either way or when but I'd bet HONDA didn't issue a 1966 CL77 with metal caps but I can't prove it.
ANYONE?????????????????????. .................lm
