MG MGA - Radiator Cap

Checking coolant level tonight and the radiator cap fell apart.

This one was always cr@p as the rubber disc was free to move around, and it has fallen apart after only a few years in service.

So who makes the best quality ones ?

I bought one of the Fahler 7lb caps on Ebay a couple of years ago. They have a polished stainless steel top which looks very good in the engine bay and appear well made inside with all parts either brass or brass plated. No apparent corrosion yet.
Whether they are German made as the name would suggest is anyone's guess.........................Mike

Hi Dominic, I too bought a one of the caps mentioned by Mike above. It is polished stainless steel and it looks great. Its construction seems very serious and long lasting. I bought it off ebay around a year or so ago. Recommended.
