rcreweread Posted June 22, 2024 Report Share Posted June 22, 2024 Just finished this batch of petrol caps which have been languishing around for years and have finally got round to stripping them, rechroming and re-assembling ( not as easy as it sounds but easy when you have sussed it ( Stuart !!) These have been fully stripped down, the tops and operating "pip" rechromed, the bodies vapour blasted, new cap seal fitted and internal parts plated. Some of them are not perfect but a darn sight better than a crusty corroded one. The majority are for the early 4 cylinder cars and TR5s but there are 4 caps for the later TR6 cars and these are complete with the rubber sealing washers (* see below as I have a few of these left over). I will be taking all these to Malvern but if anyone is interested beforehand, I will happily post on, at cost, but not till after the show. I'm looking for £55 for the best 4 cylinder ones and offers for the lesser quality ones. These are listed with the usual suppliers in the region of late £60s to nearly £80 so grab yourself a bargain The TR6 caps are no longer available form the usual suppliers but I did find SC Parts are doing them for, wait for it, £169.72! I'm looking for £75 each and this includes the rubber sealing cap which Moss sell for £9.70! I have some spare sealing caps which I will sell for £3 each and the earlier TR internal seal which fits it the rim/neck of the housing are £2 each I also have a kit of the cap to tank hose ( ethanol proof) , 2 wire jubilee clips, a rear deck grommet and a cork tank sender unit seal - these are £15 for the kit. Photos attached but much prefer you to come and see them at Malvern if you can so you are happy with the items because chrome is such a fickle issue and so difficult to photograph Any queries, please get in touch Cheers Rich Crewe-Read Link to post Share on other sites
