Filler cap ID

Post by zbarbera »

Presently I have two different filler caps. A monza style cap and one Safety Fast! Engineering (anyone that needs it for voodoo purposes...)

I want to get another monza cap but would like to match the one I have. Can anyone ID this one by the markings in the photo?

Most people would call what is in the image an Aston style cap.

The cap looks like the ones that were sold that have a grub screw in them to fit them around the outside of the locking fuel caps, wasn't this a later 90's idea to have the older 'Enots' cap look but still have the security of a locking cap, personally I would just replace both with a matching pair you like

Late 90's makes sense for when most of the work was done on the car. Sounds like a plan! Thanks
