another thought about the
gas caps and i cant tell by the pics, how far does the flip cap stick out from the quarter panel?
alf44,
Good question. I have some pics I can down load that may answer your question. I will try and get those posted as soon as possible.
Attached are a couple of close up pics of the gas cap both open & closed.
Pic #1: Is picture of the hinge with the cap opened. Top view looking down.
Pic #2: Is picture of the latch with the cap opened. Top view looking down.
Pic #3: Is picture of the hinge with the cap closed. Top/Side vew looking down
Pic #4: Is picture of the latch with the cap closed. Top/Side vew looking down
Pic #5: Is a frontal view of the cap closed.
I understand the concern regarding clearance issues. No one wants to chip their paint. But I don’t think there are any clearance issues with the hinge or the latch. As the pictures show, there is enough clearance for the hinge and latch. Also keep in mind the adapter is a bit larger in diameter than the flip top cap. If it does touch, it would be against the adapter only and not against your paint. Let me know if you see any flaws or changes that need to be addressed. Thanks!
