Funny , I did the same thing with my cap. I got mine on ebay a few years back for $30. It looks pretty good.

 

Ugly oil fill cap?

OK, I gotta admit, you guys are "out there!"

 

Someone here years ago used to offer a yellow insert with Prancing Horse that dropped into the center recess.

The rivets still were visible.....

I lost mine for two days and had to go find it, in the road...it's EVEN uglier than yours!!

 

And here I thought this thread was going to be about a part number ending in 0170.

(Like the Datsun 28-ounce water pump.)

 

I didn't like the look of the oil fill cap either so I made my own "rivet cover"

key ring fob

 

WAAAAAY out there!

 

I thought something had fallen off mine at first, pretty ugly but what was intended.... Never thought it worth the time or need to change so left alone. First picture doesn't look goo IMHO, a round yellow with horsey insert would have been the best.

Nope ... not a key ring fob.

For those that don't like it que sera sera, do what you want with your car, you'll get no comment from me on stuff I don't care for. It is "your" car not mine ... enjoy the ride!

Lost ... Check your PM's I'll let you know what I did, if you'd like to try it.

I like it Bob!

 

i have one i purchased from mike????

man i hate that when i can't remember people's names.

anyway he's a frequent visitor here and does custom jobs on racing helmuts.


my apologies, mike, for not cerebrating your last name.

 

What about the cap for the coolant? It's equally as fugly!

One cap at a time please, after the water tank cap, we will talk about the gas cap.

 

I think I am the first guy (maybe) to do that. Unfortunately I had an old (1970's) gear lever plastic inser, which is ironically the same on the Boxer locking gas cap. TR used to have these in stock!

Anyway I put a rubber o-ring around it and RTVed it in.

My reason was different I got 3 caps that had the plating chipping out of the center so I said I give up and put the horse on, and never looked back!!!!

Bob, it looks great. I don't get why people have to criticize what other people like... Good on you for whatever you wanted to do.

 

mine came out of a leather gear shift knob that came with the 308 when I bought it. I promptly replaced it with the proper knob. The centre piece fit perfectly into the oil filler cap just as if it was made for it

Thanks for the support fellas ... they all look pretty darn good to me, but you guys know by now I like that kind of stuff.

dont give up the good news is it comes off easy and when you find what you are looking for it will be a quick fix! I have also seen and bought some other round logo horses but my supply has dried up and i used them all, I think they were too big also......

 

Friends,

Ha trying to jumpstart the thread, looking for more inserts. A guy on ebay is selling them but they are not as nice as the ones I posted above, and below, but without silver accents. and here below. If anyone comes across some let me know. Apparently a lister had some made if we can find him maybe he has a few still?

This one s what I use now, it’s from the old 70s Fiat that has the handle, easy to open specially when it’s hot.
