I took 1 bottle of rum with me over there and guess what i bought it back with me also.

The fuel cap thing is bollocks we are running ours with a monza or aston stainless caps, no one has said anything to us, same as classic mini's what is the difference, think you guys should bend a few rules lol, I did notice yesterday your caps but couldnt see why you dont just change them over sure no one will say anything

Monaro

I'm sorry I missed meeting you yesterday on my fly by visit, I'm guessing your car was one of the 3 Rovers parked in formation? In order to change the petrol cap, is it simply a case of ordering an Aston Cap and clicking it on, or do you have to change the neck that it screws onto?

Yes that was us we was in middle of three, the cap is held on by grub screws and this tightens down on standard filler neck, we made ours a bit more anti theft but no need to change filler neck Mate, buy the whst model do you have

Monaro

I have nothing at the moment, but hope to take delivery next month of a 88 Rover. I'm guessing that in order to pass ADRs it will also need the black plastic petrol cap.

With the Aston cap, where did ya get it?
