Flip top gas cap and trim ring question
« on: April 22, 2012 - 01:44:57 PM »
I just bought a flip top gas cap and trim ring.  How is the trim ring held down?  Is it just the pressure from the four screws that hold the gas cap?  It looks like there is a small hole where it gets screwed to the body.  I don't want to screw into the body if this isn't correct.  Any help/pics would be great.

It's held by the gas cap screws.  The trim ring hole is a drain hole.

 :iagree:  aftermarket trim rings don't fit the best either. Have always heard complaints about them

Ya, they take a little tweaking to fit well.
