This is shown in the pic "rad cap = filler neck". Can somebody out there tell me if this is just a mount for a = filler cap or if it is for a pressure cap? Can I also get the dimensions of it = with & without the cap. ------------------- Hi Todd, The plastic neck in your picture looks like a pressure cap attachment, = since it has an overflow port. Why would you want plastic though? =20 I must have misunderstand what you were looking for, because it seems = like it would be easy to get an "aluminum radiator neck". A Google search = turned up a few good hits. Seems like you could just wander down to the local radiator repair shop, and they would either have replacement necks on a shelf. At the very least, a call to any custom radiator shop should get = you one. =20 One example http://www.perma-cool.com/Catalog/Cat_page37.html Something else to think about is getting a neck in a good cap size. Everyone looks for high pressure caps, and these don't exist in all = sizes. I would make sure there's a nice high pressure cap available for the = neck size you choose. Good luck, Rusty
