Fuel cover (flap) fix ??

Post by Rj-Fto »

Hi All,

My fuel cover(flap) hinge just came out. I have been trying to fix it back, but unsure as to how the little black clip sits. Can anyone please post a pic of their fuel flap open and how the flap clip is connected?

Cheers.

If you ever lose a fuel cap just go to any servo they have a box off them from people leaving them on the pumps accidentally haha.

You would hate to have pulled up at the servo I used to manage. I didn't keep them if I found any. I did however sell brand new ones :twisted:

I did once score a fuel cap off a brand new porsche once, not sure where I put it :?
