Most reproduction dogbone radiator caps are of finer construction than any original old time one I have seen. The old time castings are also not as consistent, having varying dimensions in the arms and ball ends. That's OK if is not a concern to you. Less weight on the radiator neck might also be a good thing.

I have a used Jr. Size Model T brass radiator cap -email if interested. Heavy cast brass that may likely was nickle/chrome plated. Note in the lower photo the bone one the right (4" -6") is slightly bent.
