| Post subject: | Strange Fuel cap |
Not a mini, but it is British Leyland according to the box... Can anyone identify this fuel cap, as I said it is British leyland in origin and is rather heavy in make-up, maybe chrome on brass. The locking mechanism is different to mini locking caps, but operates the same only from the outside inwards. Ring a bell? I thought maybe Austin 1800 or Morris Major or something of the ilk..

According to CPC it fits a Morris 1100/1300/1500, Austin 1800 and probably more. |

My 1984 Repco book gives the CPC numbers. Morris 1100, Morris Marina = SL58 
Austin 1800 = SL20  (this is the same cap as they list for the Mini Clubman)
Morris 1300/1500 = SL59
I would have bet that the 1300/1500 and the 1100 had the same cap but the book tells a different story. |

Cheers! thanks for the help. I tried the HYL number on the box, but had no luck, i never thought the number on the base would reveal it's identity. |

What is the HYL number? HYL3693 = Morris 1100, Morris 1300/1500 HYL3959 = Nomad Don't you love it when parts books conflict! |

HYL3693, and I was using my trusted usual technique of googling it, but to no avail. |

Current online CPC catalogue lists Austin 1800, Morris 1100/1300/1500 as all using the SL58. However my 2003 catalogue doesn't list anything for the 1800, but does mention the Marina taking the SL58 as well. Who knows... <edit>Looking at the bottom of the cap, maybe it suits a Morris Minor? CPC reckon the Minor takes an SL72, but it isn't even close. |

I've had a look at this cap "in the metal". It looks vaguely Morris 1100 to me in the way it locks. |

Remeber those TC Marina's. Now that was a scarey vehicle. A good deal of power in a car that hadled worse than a freshly laid ...... Had forgotten all about those horrible things! |
