Hi,
Looking for one of these, locking with 2" neck and a 90 degree rubber pipe to go on the back. With the screws and gasket it's £100! Looked at Merlin and Think Auto (Mocal) Any ideas, please?
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Demon Tweeks do a cheaper one than that, think the one i ordered last came to £54 for the filler and about £15 for a bit of 90 degree pipe.

Hi,
I'm surprised Demon Thieves have come up good!

Only £48! Can't get my hat! :)
Thanks, Antman!

I think he probably was after an "aircraft" style cap rather than that style. Not a bad price though.

Has anybody ever managed to fit one of these to a Mini without it flatening out the rear quater panel around it?

On the only one I have done that looked good I had to weld in a plinth to take the cap and blend into the body so not completly flush (only about a 3mm lip though).

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Hi,
Roger .. That's the same one as Mocal are selling for £84. AFAIK you can't get an aero look one that locks, the locking ones look like that one on the link above.
The hose is £5 cheaper at Think Auto though!

Bat, oh yes you can ...... got one on my kit, came from Europa Specialist Spares.

The lock is under the lift up flap ..... looks well sweet on what is left of my kits rear quater ...... 120mph crash at Combe kind of messes up a fibreglass car!!

Hi,
You're not wrong, but as I want 2 of them I can't justify nearly £200 on them! Plus I'll still need to sort out venting for the tank ...
Cheers,
Gavin :)
