Paudman Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hi all - anyone know if the original AC oil filler cap for the 2 litre engine is still available? Mine is a bit past it's best... all the major stockists appear to sell the later flat type without the breather on top.Looking to buy beg borrow or purloin a good one... sadly can't make Stoneleigh to look in person.Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenV8Machine Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 you mean new? if not try triumph land or spitfire graveyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudman Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 To be honest M8 I mean anything better than this one.New would be excellent but even eBay has drawn a blank.To be even more honest my personal experiences of the Spitfire Graveyard would leave me buying one far worse than this.

Fizzy Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 what would it cost to save the one you have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Is it the same part as used on the 4-cylinder cars? It certainly looks the same, but getting to my parts lists to check isn't easy at the moment. They don;t usually rust like that as they're usually covered in oil.....Cheers,Bill.

olib007 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 My spit's one was a lot worse looking than than, just attacked it with a wirebrush attachment on a drill, hamerited it and its good as new (except black!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paudman Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Mon Joo! I searched for these all weekend and found none....thanks Tim!Looks good, this one does, but it's an exchange item... he may well throw mine in the bin if he got it in exchange.Bill - I'm not sure if these were used on the 4 cylinder cars, possibly the Tr range, but I can't find any good photos to confirm.I may yet blast mine and respray matt black.

Ben Hutchings Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 exchange.. so he's cleaning up and chroming them for resale. If you bought one, yours will be on eBay next week! :)go for it, it'd cost you a lot more than £15 to get yours chromed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotoflex Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Isn't that eBay cap the Mk3 cap? The earlier ones had the breather on top like the one in Paudman's picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
