Datsun Roadster & Fairlady Early & Late Gas Cap Repair Kit
AFTERMARKET USA
Note: There were 4 different gas caps offered by Nissan with 3 variants here to cover rebuilding these gas caps
Do not assume the year of your car indicates what cap you have on your car. It is entirely possible that you have a early cap on a late car or vice versa
Contents include: One replacement EARLY style 36mm diameter door used for early cap A & B . The post is correct to fit the A & B caps. Cap C & D - 17251-25500 use the LATER style 38mm door with the small boss at the bottom of the post that indexes into the hole in the cap (SEE 1ST PHOTO OF EARLY AND LATE CAPS FRONT AND BACK TO SEE THE SIZE AND POST DIFFERENCES)
The 8th photo shows James P. B Gas Cap assembled. Its up to him to re-chrome the body now that he has a new shiny door!
Please examine the photos of the front of the caps and the hole for the post, they are smaller on the A & B Caps larger on the C/D caps
Cap A uses a cork gasket while Caps B, C/D use rubber gaskets
The kit also includes the door rubber weather-strip, spring to adjust the door tension, washer, set screw, miniature bottle of Loctite for the set screw to keep the screw from ever backing out, instead of the peened over method and the main sealing gasket for sealing against the end of the filler neck tube.
Gas cap repair Kit. Ever lose your gas cap rotating door? One day it was there and the next day gone! These gas cap doors have a small post integral to the casting that have a small spring and washer installed over it. At the end of this post the manufacturer simply peened over the, fragile, Zamac casting to hold everything together. Eventually, through use, this peened area (SEE 6TH PHOTO) break and the door will no longer be held tightly in position. Poor little doors will then vibrate off and become road kill.
