Fuel cap

[Terrence79]

Is it possible to get a locking fuel filler cap? I suspect my petrol is being pinched

Don't think so, but a couple of suggestions from Steve Heath Book to make it tamper-proof.

Maybe you're just driving it too much

Phillpot’s solution is much neater – go on show it off

"Nothing" to show off ......

Ah Photoshop.

OK I give in, where is it?

Sorry for going off topic, but phillpot have you got wheel spacers by any chance? I'd love to know what size and whether you feel it makes any difference to the handling.

Thanks, Stu

Whilst on the subject of fuel caps - looking at the rubber sealing ring on my fuel cap, over the weekend, I couldn't help but notice that it looked pretty 'tired'. The question is, can the rings be sourced separately and if so, could any kind soul give me the name of a supplier?. Thanks for any help .... Chris

Sunbeam Rapier owners club sell the rubber. Contact details are in the usefull links I think.

Noticed the MOT inspector checking it during the MOT last week, so I would get is replaced sooner rather than later.

NO, but offset may be different to the standard Oz wheels? I think the rear disc mounting faces are probably a bit thicker than the equivalent bit of the brake drums so push the wheels out a few mm's?
Would take a lot better driver than me to pick up any discernible difference in handling!

I don't have much of it, especially when it comes to wanting to see ingenious mods such as this. I absolutely love this! Makes me want to go out and get this done. Top mod Phillpot!
