A few days ago I posted a question about hearing a venting noise from
the radiator cap on my recently finished 66 TR4A. As interim step, I
bent the ears of cap down a little to get a better seal. That stopped
the venting. I ordered and received from Moss 2 new caps, the 3/4" (Moss
#834-820) and the 1" (Moss # 583-004).Included with the 3/4 inch was a
rubber gasket loose in the box. Since this was the same cap I had on the
car I thought this would not solve the problem. When I took the old cap
off, it was without the rubber gasket. Probably never got one when
purchased several years ago. A small item, that could cause a big
problem. The other cap (1 inch and without a gasket) fits my '61 MGA,
and looks better with "England" stamped in the cap rather than Stant.
