Yes - That is an original cap. The rivet is perfectly correct for that month.
The hole was probably drilled by someone who attached a safety cord?
Nice cap - -should clean up very easily....

Soak it in Evap o rust then soak it in Boe Shield. It will clean up nice.

Jeff, Is that cap also correct for a 67 05E build or was the rivet different? Bob Yes - That is an original cap. The rivet is perfectly correct for that month.
The hole was probably drilled by someone who attached a safety cord?

No - the earlier cap had a hollow rivet - there may have been some overlap in 68 but typically the flat rivet is 69 and later.
see 67 cap below...

That is a beauty John!!!! I ended up sending mine to someone who had loads of recommendations - Joe Perri out of Chicago Ill.
I will post up pics when I get it back.
Jeff,
You have an amazing collection. Wow!

Jeff,
The cap I have for my 67 looks like your 2nd picture. The Ac and 15# are reversed in the two pictures any reason for this?

No reason at all. Lots of versions of those Rad caps.
AC on one side - AC on the other side - Sometimes they even forgot a circle or two.
Sometimes the logos are upside down or angled - Really it was just a mass produced item with a lot of different variations.
Nice cap John - -I love the deep stampings on a gently used original...

As long as it's not against CRG policy. If it is, I can delete the info ASAP. Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Mr. Perri, but he did an awesome job on my cap and his prices are very reasonable.

I bought both products on Amazon.com cheaper than any store had it. |

Daniel is correct! I purchase ours at our local harbor freight and use a 20% coupon. PepBoys used to sell it as well but not sure if they still do. |
