The Australian Marlin 4hp has a course thread like that on the tank.

I haven't been able to find a cap to fit it anywhere. Bought three so far at swap meets that i thought might fit, but none do.

And no, I don't carry the tank around everywhere i go so I can check before buying.

Regards,
Spiro

I think the cap neck is soft soldered in and the tank ends are silver soldered. The tank I took apart took loads of heat... I think that's why some people cut the ends off. How big is the torch that your using?
