Curti Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I got a box of Auburn parts and this was in it. I don't know what it is, but do know what it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Has a crankhole cover look to me, but with the gasket, probably a gas cap. Edited December 15, 2017 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Obviously designed to be directional. Radiator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Maybe it isn't automotive at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The area with the tangs seems to imply that the opening 'pipe' that this would cover is only 1.5 - 2 inches in diameter. That is an awfully small hole for a radiator and for an old fuel tank filler pipe. That size might be appropriate for the smaller unleaded fuel openings of the 70s - 80s but the diecast top is too high a quality for that era. Without a pressure relief it would not function as a radiator cap but the rubber washer is intended to make it seal rather than just cover.

keiser31 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Looks more like a stamped stainless top. The vents may indicate that it is a gas cap. I have actually seen a cap identical to that, but cannot remember where or on what vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 I don't think it is newer that the 70's, ant it came from across the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
