Re: "Monza" style, flip-top gas caps for VS | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Howdy,

Anyone have a good source for a flip top gas cap for my Vintage Speedster? I am imagining that similar to my Triumph motorcycle version...a flange of some sort with a set screw goes over/into the tank's existing filler neck and then facilitates the installation of the flip top. Correct?

Thanks,
DB

For the best deals, look to the flip cap from a Triumph TR4/TR6 on Ebay. They are there all of the time for short $$ in great condition. A period classic. After-market is cool for the smaller, cheesier looking versions. Same with those meant for motorcycles, but you have to be aware of scale.
