Radiator cap
Car is a '69 124 spider, 1438cc. Can I buy a rad cap locally as long as it is 1 1/4", and 13lb or would you recommend going through the vendors? Anything special about the ones the vendors have? Thanks, Mik

Re: Radiator cap
On my 72 I tried a couple diff caps and they didn't fit right, till I got one off another Fiat. Get one made for the Fiat.

Re: Radiator cap
Around 1970 Fiat changed the cap. The later cap is easy to find at any auto part stores, the early ones not always so.
The early cap is ~1.25" overall height, the later is about 1" tall.

Re: Radiator cap
Maybe I've got an early radiator, cause I had a heck of a time finding a cap!
