This idea could make it to a Darwin award. No place for pressure relief from
expansion. If lucky a hose will let go before blowing the side off a
radiator or heater core.
Try a local auto parts store. Even Autozone has these caps or can get them
in a day or two. New old stock and so far good quality.

The only redneck idea that comes to mind is placing a few squares of plastic
wrap over the opening then screwing the cap down on it.

Subject: Coolant cap

My blue coolant cap is leaking slightly. I have another cap on order it will
take 2 days. Any suggestions on what I could do that temporize the leak
while I'm waiting for the cap?
Here's the sad part, after reading this board, about a month ago I ordered
two new caps but they were delivered to my house a few days after I left on
this trip.
