Fuel cap bolt pattern

[David mono]

Looking for the fuel cap bolt pattern for original cap.

 

[Bob Putnam]

I'm not sure whether it's original, but the ERA's filler is 9 holes on a 150mm circle.

Nine holes is correct; here's a Gelscoe magnesium cap:-

But hard to believe that Broadley (or FAV) would have been designing in millimetres...? Wonder if it's 9 x 6" on originals...

You mean...do I have two spare? Or that you have two spare?

Sorry I ment 'have you got two spare'.... I haven't got my fuel caps yet, although when opened there will be another lockable fuel cap there. Also I need to weld in a 'tube' to provide protection between the fuel line and the interior of the car.... I think this is a pic of a gelsco car showing the shroud.

Wow, nice, I like how you also have an internal cap as well.
Mind if I ask where you got them?

Thanks
Ken

Ken,
The main body and cap is a standard GT40 cap and the internal locking fitting was supplied by Newton.
Look at A400 9-hole vented.
