I have an incomplete full set of 199 rods.
I'd imagine you could mix and match 232 caps to make a set for a 199, then have them sized,but maybe not?
Shame I never thought to keep them complete, just wanted the pistons.
I doubt i'll find another, most of them had turned to red dust even back in the late 90's when I built mine...
