Sorry its for twin tanks on a cooper s replica so the cooper s style. It currently has aftermarket lockables but I'd like to go back to the original no keylock type. Thanks. |

Im not a cooper s pro, but i assume that the cooper s ones were the same as Gt ones. The centre of the cap protrudes a little from the outer. Where as a lot of other caps are just smoth all over. The ones i see most common are (i assume are deluxe ones, but believe are 850 ones): 
the ones on my GT (which i believe are the same as cooper s) look like these: (borrowed from slockos S from members mini gallery)

How did they differ? Cooper S ones cost five times as much. Cooper S tank cap = AYA5074 All saloon models except Cooper S = AYA5074 Clubman, Mini 1100 = AYA5074 Clubman GT = AYA5074 |

My mate's original `66 S had the same caps as my `61 850. |

It may have been the source that was different, perhaps the caps came from the UK with the right hand tanks and the rest of the Cooper components?? |

Where did the flat ones come from then?? Cause the risen centre ones are correct for GT's and i always believed were correct for cooper s's. So your saying ALL mini's (roundies) came with the risen centre caps as per the white mini above? |

Well i just checked a clubman parts manual and it appears the clubman vans had a different cap AYA5075 I always believed they were non cooper s roundy caps. Thats why i need to buy a roundy to learn these things

I always believed they were non cooper s roundy caps. Thats why i need to buy a roundy to learn these things My Mini K book says the K one was a AYA5074, as Morris said. I doubt the Cooper S one of the same vintage (Mk2) would be different. |

that's what I've always thought, but only from looking at cars, never researching.... but then maybe since they don't lock, every one of them got pinched! I don't think BMC thought Cooper S's were special enough to warrant their own special fuel filler cap - any differences to standard cars were by necessity rather than exclusivity |
