I believe I bought my radiator cap from Sunbeam =
Specialties.
Cap indicates 9 lbs. and G630.
Rubber seal to rubber seal is .805=E2=80=9D.
I installed a catch bottle for the header tank overflow. Catches any =
overflow which gets sucked back in when the engine cools.
=20
The Parts lists indicates 9 lbs. later cars and 13 lbs. early cars.
=20
Tiger, An Exceptional Motorcar indicates B382001521 as last unit with =
early header tank and 9 lb. cap =E2=80=93 B382001522 1st Tiger with =
updated header tank and 13 lb. cap.
=20
Well, no really good help there.
=20
I=E2=80=99m thinking 9 lbs. for early cars and 13 lbs. for later cars is =
correct

=20
Hi,
=20
I'm hoping one of you guys can tell me what radiator cap I should be =
using. I've tried a cap that was listed as being for a Tiger on =
Autozone's website but I think the pressure spring part under the cap is =
too short. I almost immediately start getting water out of the overflow =
tube as the engine warms up. I measured the depth of the expansion tank =
opening from the top edge to the flange where the spring part of the cap =
would sit and got .777". I measured the cap from the big rubber seal =
just under the cap to the small rubber seal at the end of the spring and =
got something like .75". So it looks like I need a cap with a longer =
spring stem. =20
=20
A brand name and part number would be great. And also, what should the =
pressure rating be? What I have is 13 lbs.
=20
Thanks,
Joe Brown
