My Grandson is nearing the finish of building his 26 truck. He has a Boyce radiator cap but it doesn’t have the internal part.
Could anyone help him out with this? Thanks!

The locking 1925 style Boyce Cap hasn't any internal, if you mean the Motometer, then there isn't a source today for replacement Junior size motometer thermometer to repair the meter.
RestorationStuff.com does sell the Senior size 5" length thermometer, $50, but that size is much larger than the regular Motometers used on the Model T.

They do have repair kits for junior motometers.
