Being retired Navy, Sam's used to hand polishing knobs and stuff... Looks good though I must admit.

I have two things to say about that...

1. I resemble that !

2. It can get lonely at sea

Thanks Chuck - Schonye will have to chime in on his source and cost for this repop cap. (Be advised - i asked Schonye to save a number of projects for me to restore including this cap). Restorable caps? some of the folks like Jason "SuperNovaSS" will have to weigh in on this.

Any one taken one of these rad. caps apart before? I did a pressure check on my originial and it would not hold pressure. I would like to rebuild it. The rubber seal/gasket is still flexible and appears to be in nice shape, but it is compressed flatter as compared to my repro.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Chuck, the repo cap came from Ron Norman, at McHenry Classics in IL. I can get you a nbr if you need it. I don't remember what the cost was.

The stainless RC26 15# cap is available from GM for $8.43 on GMPartsdirect. The part number is 6410206. It looks good for the money. Earl
