Topic: 1928 radiator cap bale too tall

Does anyone know how to reduce the gap between the radiator cap and the spring steel bale so it fits tightly when raised over the radiator cap? I tried to compress the height of the bale in a vise but it would not compress. Did they have different sizes of bales? The one for the gas cap works great.

They did have different sizes. Check on ebay, there were a number of them for sale a little while back.
