    Re: Monza Fuel Filler Caps

    Hi Vince,
    Yes, the holes around the rally car fillers were quite big? Well, it's certainly not an 'Aston' cap.
    I'd say 2.5". I've just measured the one that Martin Kift had on his large alloy washer reservoir. It's 2", which looks too small for a fuel filler.

    Vince, not sure if this will help, I'll try to measure mine tomorrow, notice the oval hole in the rear clam that lets you open the filler cap without opening the rear clam. Rene's car has a similar arrangement and I may be able to get a look at that tomorrow as well.

    From memory2" & 2.5" seem a bit small, there are bigger size options here http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motors...uel-filler-cap

    Rene, do you still have the invoice for your filler caps? as it may specify the size, to help Vince, regards

    Griff

    Cheers Griff, that setup looks like the one I'm after, any additional info you can provide will be really helpful.

    I think you're right Chris, if that's a 2" filler cap then it might be too small for my needs.

    Vince.

    Hi Vince
    If you do get sorted out with new filler caps would you be interested in selling your old caps as I'am short of 2. Just a thought anyway.

    Cheers
    Martin

    Sure, I can't imagine I'll need them for anything else, once I get the new caps sorted I'll let you know.

    Vince I hope these help, I was quite surprised at the ID of the filler when I measured it, but as there is nothing to impede the fuels progress into the tanks, its quite logical really, regards Griff

    Vince, yes I was really surprised as well, which is why I got the tape measure out so you could see "picture paints a thousand words" and all that, I think the 2" will be sufficient
