1932 radiator cap alternative
Backstory, I have sold my 32 pickup and it is heading to Europe in the spring. Looking for a generic auto parts store rad cap to replace the original as the buyer doesn’t want it missing on arrival. Any one have a part number for a replacement like a Stant or similar brand. Thanks

Re: 1932 radiator cap alternative

Re: 1932 radiator cap alternative
How about a reproduction '32 passenger car radiator cap? They fit and there are several different sources for them in terms of where and how they're made. They aren't expensive.

Re: 1932 radiator cap alternative
Anyone near you with a used 30,31 Model A cap to get ahold of? Most modern auto parts store caps grip from the outside and pressurized. Model A guys near you?

Re: 1932 radiator cap alternative
Napa Auto Parts still carries a chrome gas cap that fits the early Ford tank and will fit your radiator.

Re: 1932 radiator cap alternative
In regards to post #11 the 32-48 pass car gas caps will fit a 1 7/8" opening.The 49 Ford pass car gas cap I think will fit a 1 1/2" opening.I'm not sure what the opening ID is for the radiator but its much smaller then the 32-48 gas cap. Measure your radiator opening first.
