Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.453 Radiator Filler Cap. The above scheme has been produced to facilitate the removal of the water filler cap. The cap is found to stick due to heat and corrosion. As the nozzle is made in BZ/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} we suggest the cap might be tried in A/DC. as well as Dixtampo, but the first one we think should be Dixtampo.
