Yes, The two 'ears' on the brass bottom piece are differing widths to each other...you'll need to dress down the wider of the ears to suit the opening in the passenger car radiator

I don't think it will work.Orig caps were riveted .Suggest you find an original.Drake made them but not sure they are still available. Fred at Southside Obsolete might just have a NOS.Contact him
