Radiator Cap Restoration
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have a couple of RC-15 radiator caps that I want restored. Where do you all recommend?

Also, the rivet and the underside are very different. Can someone explain why? Are they from different years….?

TIA……Kurt

Agree 100% with the above recommendation. I had Tim do a couple of rad and gas caps and every one of them turned out great.

Just had 2 done at Gen2. They came out great.

I often wondered what years the various rivet designs were correct for as well - any sources for this information?

Google search produced this information from 2006 sYc thread - not sure if correct?

2 circles flat rivet. (1968L - 1972)
2 circles hollow rivet. (1966 - 1968)
No circles hollow rivet. (1964 - 1966E)
