Tonight's little project, radiator cap repairs. The car came with three caps. One a Vintique that was complete and on the car (on right in comparison image showing slight differences in profiles), another unmarked one that I assume is another reproduction that was missing the seal bits (on left in comparison photo) and a worn but presentable greyhound with stripped threads and a broken tail tip. I ordered a Bob Drake cap rebuild kit and between that and the spares that came with the car I assembles the two extra caps. I got a cheap stainless threaded insert kit off amazon and with some trepidation over-drilled, tapped and put in a threaded insert into the greyhound. I used stainless hardware instead of the brass screw in the Drake kit on the greyhound as I needed more threads and the oversized washer I put in the retaining part helped line up everything. I test fitted it a few times to make sure it was properly centered, tightened it all down real good and now it has a proper mascot. I'm trying to decide what to do about the tail tip. It bugs me and there is not a spare grand laying around to get on of JD's extremely fine replacements. Any advice? Epoxy putty will last one trip so that is a non-starter for me. I was thinking of trying to build up a bit of solder and shape that or just round off the jagged end but its a bit short. Ill keep one of the plain caps in the car for any overnight excursions so my dog does not run off while I'm not looking.
