Title: Radiator Cap
Post by: Lotusjps on Monday,August 03, 2015, 01:58:28 PM

Does anyone know where to find a 10psi radiator cap for a closed (using an over flow tank) system?  I've found several for the original open system, but of course it won't suck the coolant back from the overflow.

I see that Dave Bean offers one that's 15-18psi, though I'm not sure about upping the pressure that much.

A quick search on Summit Racing shows 7  - Seven lbs caps and 17 -  Thirteen lbs caps, but no Ten lbs caps  :confused:

I did find one on Amazon

Wow that was fast.  I'm checking it out, but how can you tell that it will fit the Europa?  I also checked it out on the Stant web site and see it fits a 1970 MBG, but it does give dimensions.
