Title: Reproduction radiator cap
Post by: Warren Seale on September 04, 2023, 07:11:31 AM
I'm looking for the best reproduction "big ear" flat rivet AC RC15 radiator cap available.  I found OER and and Ebay caps.  The Ebay cap says the brand is NYRM.  Maybe they are the same.  Does anyone have a recommendation?

Had a quick look, different rivets, one has etched lettering, the other is stamped. That may or may not matter if comparing it to originals, there were likely variations over the years there as well as suppliers.

This might be worth a read even though several years old. I was looking at a few NOS pics and seems some were from this post so I'll let them say it. I didn't read it.

I'm just posting links that may be of use, I already have a NOS on mine. No one else was going to respond.
