As much as I like those AZ guys, Sam, you got to see what Joe does. I'll post photos of the cap I most recently got back from Joe Perri. It is a work of art...

I think he also works his magic on horns too doesn't he?

He probably doesn't do windows either! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: radiator cap restoration
 

I can replate and replace the pressure valve and seals on RC-15 rad caps if anybody is interested. I know Mike Angelo has seen my work. If the cap is rust pitted it doesn't make much sense to do because polishing out the pits causes you to lose the definition of the stamping. A nice core will come out like NOS.

Pacecar Jeff in Florida. He always has some on Ebay. They look pretty good to me.

Joe is the man... super nice guy, always timely, straight shooter. His work on horns is just as good!
