Pop Out Gas Cap!

[novanutcase]

Can anyone post a pic and tell me who makes a gas cap that you just push on and it pops open? When it's in it sits flush but when you push on it it pops open. I remember seeing it and was thinking about incorporating it into my project!

What, you getting tired of your zipper? oh snap that was below the belt,my bad. LOL, just kidding.

That would be nice if it still had the look of a Larry cap.

like to see more of the Swedes design...as in how do you get gas in it? Does it pop up the needs to be removed?

Bunch of different styles and sizes are made for custom bikes. Look for custom tank builders.

the name is Colin hahah

EDIT: read the question wrong, i thought you meant the gas door, i think the closest thing youll find is something from a bike...ill get some pictures of mine later

[sellersrodshop]

is this what you are referring to?

[novanutcase]

Yes, something like that! Since I won't have a filler door on the body of the car I was thinking of using a pop up gas cap on top of the gas tank in the trunk!

The best I have found and used is from a company called Hushboys.com.
A lot of the cheap caps are part plastic and have this funny knurling on the cap.
The caps from Husboys is damn near the same quality as the original Matt Hotch $200 caps.
Look for true billet and stainless steal in the construction and you know you have a quality piece.
Don't forget ....you are welding this thing to your car.....it isn't something that you want to redo later.

I haven't been in touch with Steve, Mike or Carol in a while and just found out they have had some very unfortunate events take place recently.
The shop had a fire and they have relocated and are in the process of gearing the business back up.
I think you can reach Carol (Steve's sister) at this number. 864-578-1949

They have always been good to me and I hope they get back on there feet soon. They make some very nice products at very reasonable prices.
