Every TR3 cap that I have had, had a hole that appeared to be original.
Including the one kindly sent to me by a lister after the original got
stolen on my previous TR3A.  Not through the chrome part, obviously, but the
inner plate that actually covers the opening to the tank.

And I've been blocking off the tank vent since about 1975, when I noticed
that it dumped raw fuel onto the road when turning left with a full tank.
No apparent ill effects, even running at full throttle for extended periods
of time.
