It is "bright", but not chrome, and by no means is attempting to pass for an original style. (Hencho in Mexico for Gates.)
Can anyone point me to a photo of an original style cap?
Is it painted? If so, what color?
Thanks,

Bill | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 679 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2006 Posts: 679 | It's just stamped steel over a filter screen. Oddly, when I google for Gates Oil Breather Cap Chevrolet, I get this item. It looks pretty much like what I received from the reproduction house, but not very "period." I'll paint it- it looks odd being the only bright thing under the hood besides the metal fuel lines. Thanks again. Bill | | |
