	I was parked my BT7 just outside of the entrance gate and someone rob
me of my nice new chrome plated one. I went to NAPA also and bought
another one. I hope that ASSHOLE reads this post!

	During my drive to Open Roads in Lake Tahoe in 2002, I filled my tank
and drove away, not discovering until I stopped later that the noise I
heard like something falling off the car was the petrol cap. I had
laid it on the top cover, as was my habit during fueling. After a
futile search for it over the last 20 miles, I came across a NAPA
store in the country. Well, there is no chance they will have a Healey
gas cap, but I went in to check anyway. The clerk simply asked
“locking or non-locking?” and produced one exactly like the one I
lost. I don’t know if it was BMC factory original, but if not it was
close enough, and certainly better than duct tape. 

	The moral of the story: since then I have made it a firm practice to
put the cap in a pocket during fueling, and I have not lost another
one.

	Hi all, I foolishly drove off from the gas station and left my
original filler cap on the rear seat back. It fell of on the road and
was run over. Much misery ensued. 

	I could buy a new replacement but they are not quite the same as the
originals, so does anyone out there have a used original filler cap
they will part with? I have a BT7, but I believe the same cap was
fitted to all the 6 cyl cars, and perhaps the 100s as well, but I am
not sure of that. 

	If you have something, please contact me off-list. 

	With thanks, Mirek
