I would find an original in nice shape or have an original restored. JMO Sammy P.S. Ask Sam "Mockingbird" Griffith, he is a radiator cap collector! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

One of the fellas 'round here encouraged me to use windex and 0000 steel wool and it worked real nice. (my windex had some vinegar in it which I think help cut thru the gunk and corrosion quicker. Top left is my original and bottom right is repro. There are differences:

Dewitt makes one that looks pretty good, but, is easily detectable from originals.
