[Spridgets] Aluminum (or Aluminium if your in the UK) radiator

[AOL Mail Update (Terms & Policy)]

 Be careful with radiator cap choice.Check the depth of the neck where the cap attaches.Why?Bugeyes early MGB and a few other cars had a slightly deeper neck.  Deeper as in the distance between the cap seat on top of the fill neck to the sealing area where the cap seals coolant in the radiator.   Years ago I needed a cap for my bugeye and ended up with a Datsun 1600 roadster cap because the Stant off the shelf caps would not seal the coolant due to the seal not making contact.Just be careful when buying another cap.Chuck

 I can get a new one.  I will just have to go into NAPA to find one that fits.  There are no part numbers on the 15 lb cap to cross reference.MikeM.
