<div dir="auto">Many thanks to all who took the time to respond to my oil cap question.
<div dir="auto">It seems that the original type, with only 1 exception, is the "rimmed" cap.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have been asked a question by a gentleman restoring a late BJ8 about oil filler caps.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The cap on his car is of this type and he is fairly sure that it is original.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">However I am fairly sure that the only original caps that I have seen on 6 cylinder engines look like this.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">with the distinct "rim" around the edge.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Would appreciate anyone with a <u><strong>known original</strong></u> late BJ8 letting me know which type of cap is fitted to their car.</div>
