Hi All
I am still in the process of rebuilding my Roadster and due to my fuel filler assembly being an antique. vented and non lockable and for safety I want to install a roll-over flap in the filler neck as per all modern cars. Despite searching the net I cant find anything that resembles a roll-over flap so my question is has anybody else fitted one, how and where did you acquired it or where from? I have thought of going to the scrappers and taking an assembly out of a scrap car but if a universal assembly is readily available off the self them I would sooner go down that route.
I don't know why but I have horrible visions of ending up upside down in my Roadster with the fuel in the tank gradually running out around my head just waiting for a spark. Improbable I know but not impossible. I realise that I could just fit a modern fuel filler with a lockable cap which is a route that I may have to eventually venture down but not until I exhausted all avenues to install a roll-over flap have prove not viable. Incidentally is it a requirement of the IVA for kit cars that have a roll-over flap to pass the IVA?
Kind Regards
Mick.
