Fuel cap replacement

[Zorglub]

My 410 came with a cheap Chinese made petrol caps when I purchased the car from BCL. Does anyone know which other make uses these? I am attaching a picture in case Bristol used different caps for different cars.

The external diameter is 2.75" or 7cm. The tabs are on the outside, unlike most fuel caps.

Thanks

That does not look like a bona-fide 410 petrol cap, indeed it looks much more like a radiator cap. I attach (I hope) some photos of the genuine article which consists of a circular spring loaded disc with a rubber facing that bears on the smooth end of the filler pipe. It is a very effective and simple piece of work - opening the flap automatically opens the cap and the key to the flap cannot fall out on the road, nor can one drive off with the flap open.

I can confirm that Rogers 'photos are exactly the same as my 407 with a Yale lock. Might I suggest that you contact Bristol Cars Spares to see if the have the correct item in stock. Like a lot of things Bristol it is a very simple and effective way of sealing the fuel tank and is indeed adjustable.

Thank you for this. Unfortunately, this is how my car was delivered by BCL. I will contact the spares at BCL to see if they can supply the correct part.

PS: unfortunately the lock has also been changed to a cheap Chinese one. Any reference on the Yale lock would be welcome- Thanks
