As in VT late?  I can check for you tonight if you wish.  You can't have the door tho, I haven't finished with it

lol..thanks

Late as in VN onwards!?   they all look pretty similar (fuel filler doors and car itself!)

tell me when you've finished with it, I know a  guy who wants one  

cheers

All the same ?!!  Don't say that around the Commodore Club guys (or the Commodore Wog Boys* for that matter).  That's likely to start a flame war that makes FE vs FC look quite tame by comparison

I'm not sure at what point the remote release appeared, but the diameter of the fuel door is the same I'm pretty sure....

Hopefully this answers everything you could want to know about a VT fuel filler

Thanks Heaps Richard,
nice diagram.

i was also told the Vb-VL's are identical except for the cable mechanisms etc, and a hole here or there for attachment.

Thanks again

Hey Ed,

I have got a filler cap for a VT and if you had posted this last week i could have got for you the whole assembly, but now I have the filler door, cable and the mechanism if you want them.
I cut up and threw the shell away last week.

Regards
Jason.

Hey Ret,

What do you actually do to keep your family fed?
Or do they just bring the food into the computer room???

Cheers Jas,


i'll go and make some measurements, then call you

The VP filler is close enough to 140ml as the size of the hole in the body and sits 95ml deep into the panel.
The curve of the panel is also pretty close to that of an FC quarter-panel!

The irony is that I rarely ever get to spend any quality time in my office/computer room.  I knocked up that pic for Ed on the train into work yesterday morning.  I've got an hour each way commute and a great laptop to fiddle with this sort of thing.  If it wasn't for that....
