Default gas filler cap

www.batinc.com

aston caps has several sizes and even the original roller latch design
and 3 different finishes, just a bit on the pricey side though

You can find them on ebay. I was looking for one for my dad. He and I are going to build a replica of the penske grand sport roadster. I found one on ebay for about $100. Just pay attention to the size you want. There are a buch of sizes from 1.5"-4".

I did pick up one for $80, but it is rough. The last one I was watching bid to $179. I'll buy new first. Unless I'm missing something, the batinc website is electronics. /:\

Lvrpool32's covers do not require fuel filler pipe modification or fiberglass work. You can remove it at any time if you choose, there are four tabs that use the original trim ring mounting points. I put a small bead of clear silicone under the metal ring to protect my paint.

Looks great .....you might want to check on the type of silicone you used.........best to use a neutral cure silicone.....some silicones give off acetic acid as a by product, which might damage your paint......

I remember PM'ing him a while back, as I want one for my '76, but to date have gotten no response. I'm still on board if he is still selling them.
