                Thank you for the pictures.

=20

It appears I have the MOPAR 5220487 Filler cap =E2=80=93 good to know.

=20

This also indicates that any 522xxxx number in the Parts List is a =
Chrysler part number =E2=80=93 excellent.

Just to add to my confusion I took a look at the Tiger Parts List =
Supplement (pub number 6601131) and I'm guessing this only covers the =
Tigers up to  B382001521 because it only shows the 1224725 header tank =
and Ron has  Parts List 6601334 which show two more tanks.    Parts List =
 6601131  says the 9 lb. cap is for "later" cars and the 13 lb. cap is =
for "earlier" cars.  This seems to contradict what is in TBON.  Is it =
possible that some of the earliest cars had 13 lb. caps and then they =
went to 9 lb. caps until they changes the header tanks?

=20

The Rootes part number for the 9 lb. cap is 5220487 and when I Google =
that number I can see that is also a Mopar part number from back in the =
day.  All of the usual sources want to cross this over to a 13 lb. cap.  =
I did find a 9 lb. cap made by Motorad but I can't find what the stem =
length is.  I guess I will have to go down to the different part stores =
and look at what they have. =20

=20

Sunbeam Specialties has three different caps for sale but they are for =
Alpines, not Tigers.  I asked Rick if any of them would work for the =
Tiger and he said the pressure rating was too low. =20

=20

Ron, the G630 cap pulls up as a match for some older Land Rovers but I'm =
only finding used ones.

=20

If anybody has recently purchased a new cap that is working fine please =
let me know what you got.

Thanks,

you described. It doesn't say it's for the Tiger, it just says it's for =
the series V.

Parts List 6601334 lists 3 header tanks.

1224725                Header Tank       up to B382001521

5221224                Header Tank       from B382001522 to B382001894

Graham Vickery sent me a drawing for Header Tank 1224725 and it =
indicates Filler Cap 9 lbs.

I don=E2=80=99t know if the drawings for the other 2 header tanks are =

Joe

                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

one of you guys can tell me what radiator cap I should be using.&nbsp; =
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.&nbsp; I almost immediately start getting water out of the =
overflow tube as the engine warms up.&nbsp; 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&quot;.&nbsp; 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&quot;.&nbsp; So it =
looks like I need a cap with a longer spring =
stem.&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=3DMsoNormal =
