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.

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. Stan
