The Ford Barn - View Single Post - New gasket for 1930 radiator cap question....

RRW · 01-14-2020, 02:46 PM

I removed the original gasket from my repro cap and my new gasket 'floats' in the cap between the copper 'gasket' and twist clamp.

Original gasket was larger and was a snug fit as it was installed during production.

New gasket has a larger center hole so it will fit over twist clamp and is loose.

Should I adhere the new gasket with a sealer or leave as is?
Thank you from Bullhead City
