It seems like the modern times has no idea about specification !

So a quick look tells me a radiator cap fits xyz !!

I want a 7 pounder but cant find one, any ideas ?????

Gee Greg, where have you looked?😁
They are easy to source. Even Rares sell them- "Radiator Cap FE From Eng:L388858 FC - EH HB 7Psi
Holden Radiator Cap FE From Eng:L388858 FC - EH HB 7Psi"

Use this website (the PART FINDER menu on the left), and search for the vehicle that the radiator came out of (assume its not a standard grey radiator anymore... could be a funky bayonet type if a late-model radiator):

https://www.tridon.com.au/

Check what type of bayonet is used (large, small etc) for that radiator.

Then use this list to find a radiator with that type of bayonet, recovery or not, and 7psi:

Then order it off eBay.

Cheers,
Harv
