Don't know I'm afraid, but it might be worth dropping JRCast an email as he must cut them. I'm curious what it is though

Are you talking the standard oil filler?

Assuming it's imperial, the thread pitch of mine is 0.09 inches, The width of the cap excluding thread is 1.518 inches, including thread is 1.612 inches. All measured with a vernier.
So depth of thread is 0.047 inches.

Do you want it measured in mm?

I am guessing you are at work all week, so not near your own car.
If I can find my old standard landrover cap, would you like me to post it to you at work?
