Very rare to find a silver top with the alloy housing. Also the holes are slightly different spacing on the black top so would need on e the holes opening out.

i only fitted that one because i cracked my plastic one when lifting the engine in and out doing the mtx conversion,but they have 3 threaded bosses in them for different water sensors handy if you have a after market management and a water temp gauge.
strange that your one didnt fit tho.

May be of use mate!
