I have a couple of these caps, but the original (Millen, I believe) ones. The Jass one looks like a good copy. If you like it, go and buy it. It's only $125 USD and is far less expensive than the originals which had a very limited production run.
Not that it probably matters, but how do you find them to use?
I think the original was from Simpson Design
I had Simpson Design and loved it! A well built piece and matched the Zoom Engineering fuel lid!
That's it - Simpson Design!Quote:

I have one on my car. Well built but it won't line up straight unless you 'shim' the rubber gasket. This could bother some people more than others

Your engine bay is so damn clean!
47,000 kms or 29,000 miles, and it's usually in the garage under a car cover. Sadly.Quote:

LOL, the first thing I thought when I saw that was, "cool, but it needs to be clocked correctly."
I used a spare CAS o-ring gasket.Quote:
