Flip top gas cap education

[Ricketts]

Lookingi nto maybe getting my dad the flip top gas cap for his 73 Challenger for Christmas, educate me on what all is involved in this swap. I tried searching, not much luck though.

I put one from a 70 onto a 73 back in 1973. That was a long time ago but I remember it being really easy. You will need a regular or locking cap to go on the tube. I seem to remember the flip top just screwing into place with no problem. If I'm wrong someone will correct me.

You got it toxic, just put a year one cap that was originally purchased for a 70 on my 73, ez as pie

  A simple bolt on!

That was my assumption, but I had contacted a vendor about one and he told me "you will have to find or modify an actual filler tube cap". Does that mean I'll just have to find a working gas cap?

Yes, you will need a regular gas cap not the one you currently have.

Well that was pretty obvious due to it's size.  I guess sometimes you have to state the obvious to folks though.

Recommendations on who to get one from? I've did a search and saw some folks less then happy with the chrome work on their cap from xxx. So who sells the best quality flip top? I noticed Roseville's shows it comes with a trim ring on their site. Didn't see that listed as included on others.

Stick with Dave at Roseville

Gotta have the trim ring, and Dave is the man

You also need a gasket under the trim ring
