Liverpool32 here on the forum. Nick makes the only true bolt on cap for our cars. He sold a few at Carlisle.

Recently, Motion told be they'd sell them, but then they never followed up with a price tag or availability info as promised. They've evidently just gotten too absorbed in their latest concept car projects...

My design leaves the original gas cap on the car....bolts into where the factory trim ring goes.
