im pretty sure the filler cap (just above the thermostat) is the flat one. The one on the radiator has the springy stuff on it.

Probably...but i personally wouldn't. I find that OEM parts are better than aftermarket parts.....for applications like this anyway.

Go to the dealer. Please go to the dealer.

If you have a series 4, the flat cap goes on the radiator and the one with the spring on it should be on the neck above the thermostat if I am not mistaken. That is the way it is on my friend's 86 SE anyway.
