The cap is a fibreglass moulding, so will be unique to Lotus, why not contact Lotusbits - I’m sure they’ll have a used one for sale.

Pete's got everything :lol: :lol:

I've got one too, but its a spare :roll:

I can ferry one down to oxford from LB if the postage is prohibitive if you go that way.

Thanks gents
If you do have one I am very happy to pay and the pay the postage. Otherwise it's the SJ route and you can see yourself what they want for one .

If Pete can’t help, suggest trying Lotusbits, they’ll probably have used ones, so should be cheaper.

They do have a used one . They really have quite unexplainable pricing .
I think a lot of their used stuff seems a good deal until you say you need something. :(

I've found mine David, but I don't have the key and it needs a new seal. It's red. £10 + postage?

If you change the barrel etc, it is possible to put it back together 90 degrees out which will push the screws through the thinner portion of the cap. Dont ask how I know.

Also in need of a fuel cap. If anybody has one collecting dust, I'd happily lighten your load. Red preferred.
