1930-31 Auburn radiator cap questions

[keiser31]

First off....is this for a 1930-31 Auburn? If so, does anyone have photos of what the pieces on the bottom look like that they can share? Thanks in advance.

Hi Keiser31, 

 It seems Mike's junk drawer has a lot in it. I think you will find this is the type cup he was looking for. My 1932 has a reproduction radiator cap on it with a cup of my making that works. I adapted an old gas cap and rubber washers to work and got this cup in case I found an original. Are you interested in selling your cap or did you get an Auburn?

Thats it I cant find mine but that is the correct Auburn 8 part that holds the rad cap in place.

Thank you very much guys! I REALLY appreciate the photo! I would sell the cap. I cannot afford an Auburn.

Welcome back Keiser31,  was beginning to worry about you.  I've had mine about 28 years and made due with a reproduction cap on mine all these years. Unfortunately the time seems to be drawing nearer it might be going down the road before long.  That's just a bit of a hint in case you come into some money. 

 I started thinking about it and I think I'll let the new owner find an original. Sorry but can't give you a value for it but I'm sure you won't have any trouble selling it. Good Luck.
