But the pieces on the underside that screw it onto the radiator are missing. Any suggestions where I might be able to find a replacement for the missing parts?

Since I'm a cheap SOB I drilled the radiator cap with a 1/2" bit so that the eagle would sit flush. Then I found a nice cap screw with an allen head. Washers, and a nut on the bottom of the cap and it looks decent. This post is guaranteed to be 100% content free! '31 Special Sedan
