The caps all come in black (as far as I know, seen 1 grey).

The air passages are already present in the caps above the coolant insert (with the vacuum/overpressure valves), so the insert is removed and the rubber gasket is pushed in again and you have a washer cap.

Source for coolant tank caps

Hello!

Swedish

I do speak/read swedish and can translate, but generally the best site for finding out when there are batches being sold out as surplus is this link http://www.fmv.se/WmTemplates/Page.aspx?id=850
