Who makes the most accurate/best reproduction RC-15 radiator cap for 1970 SS Chevelles? Thanks in advance.

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!

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