This has been a wonderful discussion. Please include any manufacturer =

Tiger. We also need to know possible bad part numbers too. We all =
need that kind of information on hand for future reference.

I still recommend a coolant recovery system to everyone then you know =
exactly when and how much coolant is moving back and forth through the =
system.
Make it a simple setup that can easily be removed if judging is your =
priority.
Personally, I prefer not to pollute the ground with coolant of any kind =
and I really don=E2=80=99t want coolant possibly spraying onto my tire =
while driving or stopping.

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.

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.

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.

correct

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

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?<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p><span =

from the big rubber seal just under the cap to the small rubber seal at =
