31 rad cap leak
ok so been bombing around in the lil speedster for a while now and once the rad found its home it never spit out any water again. tonight out of the blue it leaks all over the place . its not hot but at higher RPM water out the cap. so I inspect the cap, and the cork or paper or whatever the seal is is soft and seen way better days. A is non presureized system, so will it work to make a new thicker gasket out of something tougher? I mean it will work but I cant see how ill hurt anything. id just get a new one but for me I'm 100 miles from anywhere. I'm thinking about cutting a ring out of some thicker plastic like an oil jug or something like this any thoughts on a better way?
