Default Radiator Caps

Hi all. A bit of advice if you please. I want to replace both coolant caps. I hope to use a solid cap on the centre fill point and a 16psi on the expansion tank. Will the EAC3424 be ok for the centre fill or if not advice on an alternative would be much appreciated.
Rob.

Not sure of the OE spec, never used them.

I dropped ALL my V12 cars, Series 6cyl cars to 13psi and used CPC caps.

I have even dropped the 2 S Type X200, and the X Type X400, to a lower KPA cap.

ZERO issues wiith any of them.

I have that spec/number somewhere in the stash in the shed, and sill go looking later in our day.

Found it, CPC 543/13.

You can get solid caps for the spout from Car Builder Solutions. I used these for some years before eliminating the spout!

Thanks for your replies. I have ordered the EAC3424 and also a CCC6707 for the expansion tank from David Manners. The caps Grant mentioned only seem to be available in Australia.
