expansion bottle cap

Hi everyone,

It's been a while and I hope everyone is well. My 94 delica L400 has now surpassed the 300K kms mark and it is still rolling on (with upkeep and minor repairs of course).

I've had a slow coolant leak over the winter and I've finally has time to track it down. The expansion bottle cap has malfunctioned (doesn't release pressure) and this caused the expansion bottle to split.

I've decided to get a new aluminum tank from TigWeld4U but unfortunately he is out of the caps.

Does anyone have a generic part # for a suitable cap that I could find in Calgary (PartsSource, C-Tire, that sort of thing).

Cheers, Darren

I have a spare stock cap off my L400 from when I switched over to the Aluminum tank as well...
Nothing wrong with it

Hey Thanks for the replies!

I have the old one, as I mentioned. The problem is that the cap malfunctioned and caused the expansion tank to split because of excessive pressure (I tested the cap to off the gauge and it still didn't release). TigWeld4U has the tank but no caps, and so I want to get the right one.

Anyway I have some leads on a cap.

cheers! Darren
