Reply To: Radiator cap

[Gregory Long]

A radiator cap is just a cap. The Series 80’s had a brass threaded ‘cup’ with Bakelite cast over and around the cap.

The Bakelite shrank, cracked and very, very few original caps remain intact.

The Mascot was mounted on a plated brass cap, held on by a central stud in the mascot’s base, and a nut and lock washer under the cap, inside the radiator neck.
