Anyone one know where I can get an petrol cap from? I have looked at the upgrades at Racetech but they are not making any at the moment.

How many times you done this? In all seriousness, you might want to consider a tether for it.

Best put the cap in the boot while refuelling.

I regularly forget to replace the cap

But I always leave it here so it's still there when the petrol fumes remind me that I'm an idiot



In case you are wondering what the brass pin on the right is for

My gf made several of these for me, friends and relatives

It's a fuel pump pin that allows you to latch the pump, like you can in most other countries

This saves arthritic, or just lazy hands, from having to work hard to pump the gas

Especially useful in the winter

Amazed anyone would put the cap in any other place than in your pic, the pin is a great idea.
