Wanted Alloy fuel cap and neck...

I'm after a lockable alloy fuel cap and neck for my Viento build but I'm trying to avoid paying ca £80 for a new one. Does anyone have a second hand one thats surplus to requirements that I could buy off them?

Also after some hose to connect the neck to the tank.

Thanks for the tip. Would these be IVA compliant?

I bought mine from europaspares for £49.50

Linky

All I needed to do was string some picture frame wire to prevent the cap from being left behind at the petrol pump as this cap you can take the key out when it's not locked.

I looked around for months for this.

Thanks - a good spot!

I'll give them a call to check to see if it has an integral unleaded restrictor (required for IVA) or whether I need to get one separately, which I would imagine is the case with most aero caps and necks.

I might be wrong but I don't think you need the restrictor anymore.

I phoned Europaspares and they said that you do not need a restrictor with that cap and neck to pass IVA.

For the same of £10 would you really want to risk it?
IVA = lottery
