Default Lost my cap...

Hi folks. I had to get my radiator re-cored and I foolishly left the cap on when I dropped the radiator off. Of course, it came back without it and nobody seems to know where it is. Does anybody have an original 15 lb radiator cap for a 68? :sad:

:iagree: Buy one from Paragon or someone like that and take them the receipt. They should not have let that happen. My opinion.

I should have pointed out in my post that I actually left the radiator at my buddy's repair shop and he sent it out. I don't want to make a big scene about it because my friend still has to deal with this shop on a regular basis. We've been friends for almost 20 years and I don't want to jam him up. It's one of those "awkward situations". You know, like trying to tell your wife that her mother smells bad :nono:

One of those can't cost much can it?

$35! Corvette Central, $38 at Ecklers. This is for the "original" cap, not a generic replacement.
