Q & A: MGA Radiator Cap

Tuesday January 03rd, 2006
Q & A, MGA, MGB, MGC, MG T-Type, Midget
Sir, I have a '62 MGA MkII that I'm returning to the road after nearly 32
years of being my brother's garage decoration. Question: Did the original
radiator cap have a rubber seal ? Mine has a brass outer ring that presses
against the brass flange in the radiator neck (I think it's probably the
original cap). The inner air return disc doesn't look as if there'd be
anything to hold a rubber seal. Should I chuck it?

Jim!

Remember that the MGA rad cap (along with the TF and the early
Midgets) have a longer cap than all the later cars. Yes, there must be a
rubber seal to hold the pressure in the radiator. A 7# cap is plenty.
