LeMans Flip Gas Cap

hi guys--maybe help me out--checked some old posts re LeMans

gas lid-they suggested a LeMans gas lid from Mustalgia for a bolt on lid--4 screws done--a little expensive but I guess no body work /paint etc---probably good deal???let me know what you guys think--

Does that cap actually provide a CAP for the tank, or just a cap for the outer fuel door, and then you have to reach in to unscrew the gas tank cap?

You are correct. I have a LeMans cap from mustalgia and you reach through it to access the actual gas cap. Mine is a fairly large locking cap and there is plenty of room.

I own one from mustalgia....it is VERY VERY simple to install or remove.... 4 screws and that's it!. I can take the cap off in under 2 minutes (and that includes me getting the screw driver)

MrJlr, how is the crate engine performing? Have you completed your 500 mile break-in period?

There is one on fleabay today.
BUT, he has a $350 starting bid.

I have one of my car and love it. I think mine cost $250 from Mustalgia.

If I hadn't just spent $60 for an NOS gas door emblem, I would spend some of my bonus $ on one... perhaps in a few more years.
