Uprated radiator cap

Post by warrior » Tue Mar 26, 2013 8:14 pm

My radiator cap needs replacing and I was wondering where I can get a 1.3kg high pressure cap from? I have seen quite a few on E bay but who knows if they are real high pressure caps?

Any ideas in NZ?

Repco has them just take along your old one and ask them for that pressure :D

I wouldn't put a higher pressure cap on a factory radiator might over stress it
