Another thought might be to have the fill neck area looked @ by a radiator repair shop. They have a tool that rolls the edges and contacts the 2 seats the cap seals against.

I know you do not want any short cuts but here is a trick that might get you to the shop to get her fixed. The rubber gasket on the base of your rad cap is held in place by pressure from a large washer with a rivet clamping it in place. Steal the rubber gasket from your old cap and then put it on your new cap to double the thickness of the seal area. It worked for me until I could get a more permanent fix completed.
