Michael,
I do not believe that, as I know several 100/6s which kept the original=20
rimless cap. I still have about a douzent painted rocker covers (valve=20
covers) with both styles, half of each. The caps were not available=20
aftermarket for many years.

It seems fairly certain that the other "rimless" style only became=20

That leaves the question open: When was the change from the early version
to the rimmed cap?
My 62 BT7 already had the rimmed version. I know earlier 100/6s had the
other cap.

Many thanks to all who took the time to respond to my oil cap question.=

It seems that the original type, with only 1 exception, is the "rimmed"
cap.
We will be updating the Concours Guidelines appropriately.

I have been asked a question by a gentleman restoring a late BJ8 about
oil filler caps.
The cap on his car is of this type and he is fairly sure that it is
original.

However I am fairly sure that the only original caps that I have seen
on 6 cylinder engines look like this.

with the distinct "rim" around the edge.

Would appreciate anyone with a known original late BJ8 letting me know
which type of cap is fitted to their car.

Many thanks
