    eBay auction (200101175183 ) for an original Flying Lady/Man/God for a '28 Essex has just finished without reaching reserve. Opening bid of $100.00 wanted. Contact the seller on one of his other auctions, it may still be for sale. Also Geoff Clark (in New Zealand) offers a very presentable reproduction without the fragility of 80 year old pot metal.:)

    As mentioned, I have the mold for the '28 Essex "Flying Man" radiator cap, and can get as many cast as wanted. Unfortunately the price has escalated over the years, and need to budget for U.S.$200 each for the finished product ( with thread machined and nickle or chrome plated.)

    Incidentally, the '28 Essex radiator is 2-1/4", not 1-3/4". Are you sure this is for a '28 Essex?
  • It is a '28, but I think that the radiator is from something different.

    If so, then the flying man cap will not fit, sorry.
