Does the original radiator cap have the two flanges or were they just round?
Looking for a NOS one or similar.
Thx

Original had the two ‘flanges’ then they changed to round ones if you ordered a new one. So if you’re after 100% original you’ll need the early type.

I used one from an old V8 rover radiator it was exactly the same as my old LC cap. I didn't check to see if it had the same opening pressure.

Mines from a mitsubishi and its more Tz in style if the OP wants an original not so sure if you can get similar, no doubt someone will know.

I'm gonna double up the gasket as a first step as mine looks just right aesthetically.
