BILLET RADIATOR NECK ?

Does anybody know of any sources for billet radiator necks to fit the extra large 2.11/16" (68.5mm) diameter radiator caps. I have sourced plenty of original caps and stamped brass necks but need a strong aluminium neck.

I used this guy:

Steve Harris Unit 6, Bridge Ind Est, Silfield Rd, Wymondham
Norfolk NR18 9AY 01953 601954

to make me new stainless steel exhaust pipes for my '40. He was really cheap and the work is excellent. He is ex-Lotus and will make just about anything you want in alloy or stainless including header tanks, swirl pots etc.

Re: BILLET RADIATOR NECK ?

Dear All,
Thanks for the good advice.
I am making up an original type 'double cube' tank with the larger heavy duty radiator cap.
I spent several hours searching the web to no avail but my buddy next door came to the rescue and made me a superb one in billet.
