Union Ratraps 9/16ths to 1/2 inch

Is it possible to swap union rat traps from 9/16ths to 1/2 inch?? If so how's it done??
Can't see how to get the end caps off
I have a pair of 1/2 inch which are a bit rough and would like to buy new but can only find 9/16ths so would like to buy the 9/16ths and swap the insides.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Don't the ends just prise off with a screwdriver? Is this the shape your thinking of?

Dunno about prising off (they are a bit mucky) but I'll have a butchers tomorrow.
That is 'the shape of things to come'!! Not seen that pic before but reckon they are a great looking motor even today (if a touch rust prone
)

Can't remember where I found that one. I was building a Group 4 replica till I lost my job but one day it will get done. Not got any digital photo's of mine but it needs painting yet so ain't beautiful. Cracking ID I use redgroup4-tr8 on E-bay.

I used to have a 2 litre TR7 total mint restore job which was real nice but a bit steady. Changed it for an S+S Preparations 3.5 which had all the right bits, 3.08 diff, Holley carb, tubular manifolds. Sounded awsome and went nicely too. Sold it two years ago - miss everything about it but the rust!!!!
Hope you get yours all sorted - sounds awesome!

yeah thinking about it they are too small to be Manta ones
thats the good thing about competition cars, if it works & it sorta fits then it stays on there
i've got an unfinished one of these in the garage i need to get shot of, if you like welding?............................

Tr7 and welding goes hand in hand

Right then,
Had a closer look at these things today and reckon that they will be OK. One pedal is missing one reflector though, don't spose anyone has one available
