Who-Where-? Flip-Top Style Gas Caps !

HAMB'ers !

Need links to find "Flip-Top" Style Gas Cap assemblies, and I want a good one that is not some China-leaking-gonna break after one use-POS.
I've seen the $19.95 Marine ones on the Web and Ebay.

This is for my "A" Project is you need to know. I do not want something from a Dodge Challenger

Sources?

Personal experiances?

Thanks,
Glenn

Got a Triumph one for my latest project Spitfires and TR4/5/6 had them, seem cheap secondhand here so probably are there to. (Because all the restorers buy repro ones)

They aren't flip top, but kinda cool. From Air ride no less

 

What about Plymouth Barracuda? 67 I think. www.drmopar.com Spitfire ones are the coolest I have seen.

 

Yeah, Spitfire caps are great looking. Sunbeam Alpines & Jag XJ-series also have interesting flip-up caps, but they're not flush-fit like the Spitfires.

 

MGA's used a small stainless steel flip cap that look good to me.

 

Norton Commando , you should be able to get one from Wes Scott in Florida (954) 771-8181 . The Norton part number is 06-0681

Lots of other british stuff had them , and 70s Jap bikes copied the idea too.

Jag XJ series had two each here is a whole car with gas tanks etc in Florida for free, ad is three days old.



or try Britishspares search with the 06-0681 part number , should be $39 new.
You will have to make your own filler neck with mounting lugs or get one from a wrecked tank, in which case you might get the cap as well , but most of them have gravel rash if the bike has been wrecked . I can get a tank and cap out tomorrow and take a pic if you want.

 

Joe McGlynn makes some cool stuff.
Not cheap,but you only have to buy one.
Tell him Unkl Ian sent you.

The moon catalog has em. Not cheap and i dont know about quality, but theyre there!

 

Oh shit here we go with "Moon" again.....

I vote for the XJ's...

 

Wow, very nice...but not for a early '60's style HotRod.

Thanks Unk

 

That's the style and look I want, hmmmm....better keep saving $$$

Thanks Kyle!

 

What years of Jag XJ ?

 

I have one of the crimescenechopper caps and they are almost jewelrt. Not sure where I'm gonna use it, just had to have it.

All of the ones that look like this had 2 of them. You can barely see one in the pic on the left rear fender behind the glass. I don't know the years. I recently sold this one, with a smallblock conversion, for $300.

Early 70's all the way through '86 or so. They should be pretty cheap, I usually get whole cars for less than $200....

 

i could not find it in the moon catalog, but is the style you want?

 

no pix but i a second strong vote for 67 cuda cap

 

This is what I'm going to use in my Model A. It's from Jaguar. It's cheap, chromed, good-looking and works well. Cutted off with steel from a wreck car.

 

Take a look at Atwoodmarine.com...use.."search beacon " ,keyword "deck fills"...and look at their "Indy" 316 stainless deck fill flip-top ... I've got one on my Track T and it's a very nice ,solid,well-made piece...heavy polished S/Steel....Stan

 

These Halibrand caps show up on eBay occasionally....from $800 and up !

 

Post 69 TR's had a larger one than a spit.
Post 69 had a latch too.

The cool one were magnetic on a TR5/TR250.
Not chrome but brushed aluminum.

 

I sent a PM to you AHotRod. I have one from a Triumph Spitfire.

 

Emailed 'ya Winn !

 

No luck finding such a website

 

The ones I think you're looking for is either the Monza or Aston filler caps made by Enots of Birmingham.Has been around forever an is still available at most vintage british car specialist.
