[Healeys] Which Monza Cap Supplier?

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

Agreed. Either vented or just not a  very good fit.

Can't help you with suppliers as I don't suppose you're in the UK.

I bought one at a car show about 5 years. Impulse buy. Really cheap. Looked
good. Useless. The catch fell to bits.

Bought another at same show, Powderham, a year later. Cost far more. Looked
same as the other one but had a more robust feel to it. Still has.

Only saying that the cheap ones are useless. "You gets wot you pays for." I
imagine they all come from the same manufacturers.

I believe so.  There is never any vacuum release when I open it.

Is the cap vented?

Denis Welch sells both the Monza and Aston style filler caps.  I purchased
the Aston style and had a nut welded onto the inside of the filler pipe to
secure the cap ring with a hex head set screw (see attached; sorry it's a
bit blurry, but you get the idea).  I thought that superior to affixing the
mounting ring permanently.  Yes, the nut is behind the direction of force,
but there's no need to tighten the set screw to the point of jeopardizing
the weld.  The Monza is $56.33 (less shipping) at current exchange rates on
the DWR website.

Hello,

 

I would like to add a Monza style gas cap to a Healey BT7. I know the cap
size is 2.5" and the ID of the threaded collar is 2.25" to fit the gas
filler tube. The price range for what appears to be the identical item is
from $60 to $140. I would appreciate any supplier recommendations for the
best value.

 



 

Thanks... Harold
