Chris,  

If Greg doesn't have them anymore, I think K&K has them.

Hey Greg,

   The radiator cap is missing for mine, so if you have one I will take
it.  The guy I got it from actually said he thinks it is in his shop,
but that doesn't help me at the moment.  I figure if I buy a
reproduction that will force the original to show up.

             Chris
