I am looking for Quick Release caps that have been machined with the smaller hole for the radiator as apposed to what is currently being offered with the brass reducer.
Either someone who has one or advice on who actually makes them.
I really need one with the coil for the radiator & two for the fuel tank.
Thanks in advance.

If memory serves you need an offset adapter for the radiator cap so the cap will not foul the bonnet. I do know they are available on eBay by a seller pre55mgs, I have no knowledge or connection with this seller.

I should add, I made the coil up from plumbing fittings and tapped the cap back in the 70s.

pre55mgs is Andy King; go to him direct and save him some commission.

In the interests of equality, I saw such fillers on the ARP stall at Stoneleigh as well: http://www.austinrepro.com/about.htm

The ARP ones though are not the original 1930s profile, look noticeably quite different to the trained eye if fitting to an MG. Not sure what they were copied from but not correct sadly for MMM application. Nice finish however.

Richard is correct on the off-set issue. I have made these in the past for elements of the trade but too much work in them to keep making them properly to a set price

The pigtail on the one shown should also really exit in the lower position, not as shown.!
