I believe it is a non-pressure cap. Check with Hamilton Bob (www.hamiltonbobs.com). He should have the right one for you.

I ordered one for my 154. Not sure if it was from Bobs or not. It came as a presurised cap as I found out the hard way. (check safety thread It finaly happened). You can convert a preasurised cap to non preasurised by cutting off the small round check valve on the under side of the cap with wire cutters.

My 154 has what I believe to be the original radiator cap and it's pressurized.

If you are going to buy a radiator cap - go with the non pressurized one - or make the radiator cap non pressurized. Reason, old radiator and possible weak spots.
I have an excuse. CRS.
