Title: fuel cap cover
Post by: andykotzur on September 02, 2003, 09:11:47 AM
I  dont much like the look of the fuel filling nozzle on the wagon and  am toying with the idea of welding  in a cable opperated, or key operated cover. Something to make that area look a bit smoother.
Anyone know  what model doner cover to look for, and any techniques for fitting?  Your information would be appreciated.

I dont know much about a wagon, but here's an idea of whats involved with a VP commodore filler/cover in a sedan.

geez that looks scarey!there was a thread on here a while back where someone was after a filler cover off a mitsi colt for the same mod...they are fitted on the left side also,so they are hinged on the correct side

Hi,

Yes  trev that was me RE: Mitsu colt, an idea that would still work.

I have since used a combination of modified Commdore fuel door and standard guard.

Cheers

Here are some pics of the fuel door.... As simple as it looks, there was hours of thinking in it.
