				Rotax went to a higher pressure radiator cap for 912s a few years ago to
 allow a little hotter coolant temp before boil over.
 
 Thought it was less than $80 from Lockwood, in sebring Florida.

				After a little research, found that the 912 uses a pressure of 1.2 bar for the radiator cap.  1.2 bars is equivalent to 17.4 pound per square inches.
  
 18 psi caps by Stant are available from amazon.com: 
 http://www.amazon.com/Stant-10234-Radiator-Cap-PSI/dp/B000B8JUG6
  
 17 psi caps are also available from amazon.com:
 http://www.amazon.com/Stant-10251-Radiator-Cap-PSI/dp/B000C8226K
  
 I’d try one of these rater than shelling out $80.  May be that your local auto parts store can get one for you without the shipping charge.

				I find this interesting.  Kitfoxes generally - at least the earlier ones 
 with 912 and the external radiator run a bit on the cool side.  Is there 
 another advantage for the high priced high temp thermostat?  As mentioned, I 
 would go to the nearest auto parts store, but good luck there.  If It isn't 
 in their computer matched with make model and year they might just shoo you 
 away as my two local stores did a while ago.

				Hi John, The problem that I think  I will have is that the coolant tank radiator cap is about 1/2 the size of a  standard cap. I know of a great radiator shop over in Reno and I will take this  gold plated beauty made exclusively for Rotax and there probably  is  some smaller German  car that may have a cap this size, I am not totally  toast yet, but I am losing small amounts of coolant and it could be that  all the air is not out of the system yet, as I changed to dextron which has  seemed to help but it is 16 to 24 * F  up here so it is hard to tell at  this point, I thought I would toss a new cap on just for grins but the old one  certainly looks good at the moment. Thanks for everybody's help once  again.  This is the older 912.   Bob

  Hey my Acura has a teeny tiny radiator cap. I'll check it tomorrow.

				I replaced all hoses and installed an in-line water temp sending unit per
 Rotax/Lockwood suggestions, and about 30 hours later had to retighten
 clamps because of very slight coolant loss. I never saw signs of coolant
 on any pipe, hose, clamp, but retightening the clamps did the trick.
 
 As an aside, the in-line water temp is a bit HIGHER than the CHT mounted
 reading, even when gauges and sending units are switched, so an error in
 sending units, cables and gauges is not the cause. I use UMA gauges and
 matched sending units.

				John,        this  note reminds me that in the day the gasket would occasionally leak and someone  came up with an automotive replacement.  It was from a Mercedes, I  believe.  I can't find my reference.  Maybe someone else has the  info.

      Are you thinking of the Mercedes gas cap gasket?

				Guy,
  Thanks for that.  I guess it is a little of the  senior moment thing.  Gas cap - radiator cap, all the same to  me.  Now if my wife was home, she could help me find the project I'm  working on.

				OK. Time warp. Checked the Acura and it has a nice, teeny, very weird, radiator cap. Nothing like the 912. However I did find this interesting thread:
