Taimar filler cap

[dryden]

Hi, Having suffered an intermitent petrol smell in my Taimar, depite fitting a new alloy tank, I found it is my filler cap and gaitor. It has needed replacement for years as the hinge pin is a split pin, and the lock is siezed, and I need a screwdriver to open it!
So I have to replace it.
I fancy a nice polished alloy one but these all seem round, Mine is the "lozenge" with mathing indentation, so round ones will not look right.
Does anyone know of a lozenge or oval alloy cap that might fit?
Cheers
Clive.

There was a thead on here a few months ago about filler caps. I can't get the search work, but perhaps you'll have more luck

There was a thread on the S-series forum here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
This is not an alloy cap but looks identical to the original chrome type. Here's the online store link http://www.sportscarsupplies.com/product/FLIP_TOP_...

Thanks for that, I did not know it was Spitfire, I thought they were round with a side catch like some Vixens, obviously not so for all of them. The thread that came from the S pages was an attemt to re-create Scimitar caps I believe, but these were not quite the same ether.

F.Y.I the S series caps are the same as the SE6A Scimitar. Yours is the same as the SE5A Scimitar.
