Lost my 1.25" push-in oil cap on the dual carriageway (made a nice bang as it bounced off the underside!) - struggling to source one in a hurry...any ideas on a general UK-based Yank bits supplier? I've got a used cap coming that may or may not fit, but may keep a spare (or change the bloody valve covers!).

Think it was this exact one, only $4.97 + $37.91 p&p to have one in a fortnight! Half tempted to weld on a boss for a threaded cap, as it was a crappy loose fit anyway.

Is that a standard size oil cap as i've got a spare billet one that came off my LS2

It's pretty standard aftermarket, but my OE covers ended up on one of the LS1 escorts IIRC so can't check!

On ebay, there's a few UK based suppliers of that size, it is very much standard.

JWR (John Woolfe Racing) carry plenty of that sort of thing, and will get it to you within a day or two

As an example:
