35-36 Ford and Chevy cap radiator cap
35-36 ford and chevy cap
We made the embossed caps for the 1935 and 1936 Ford cars and lo' and behold it turns out they fit the 1935 and 1936 Chevy cars and a myriad of other vehicles too.
This is the conventional size and fits a variety of other vehicles that utilize the inverted cup that rides and "formed ramp" until it strikes the downward facing tab stop. Its commonly called a bayonet-style cap and was used with with non pressure systems.
We have tested these and we estimate that the fiberboard seal and inverted shallow brass cup behind it create a resistance of ~3psi. It is intended for non pressure systems
We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.
Build time estimates [Feb 2025]
Brass/Black Model Ts
Our longstanding foundry (supplier) closed and all production was shifted to a neighboring foundry. Apparently many of the closed foundry's workers were ineligible for rehire by the new foundry due to more aggressive immigration enforcement and the union has no employees to provide. As of 2-20-25, we should receive castings in March 2025 and can resume production then.
In the interim, we have been working with our one-off foundry to have pattern boxes made and these are trickling in in smaller batches and we will produce what we can.
Model As 5-6 weeks

We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
