[Healeys] Gas cap parts now in tank

[Kees Oudesluijs]

I have some "grippy thingies" about 1m long and they have been very 
usefull at times, even when you have to work blind/hit and mis. They 
cost next to nothing. Combined with a mirror on an extendable rod and 
ditto magnet they cost less than €4.
