How do these fit? Do they just fit straight over the exsisting one? if not, do they come with a lock etc?
Cus to me, they just look like the open and then there'll be the hole leading straight down in to your petrol?

Sorry for my simple question......I'm just wondering.....

they fit to the fuel filler pipe and the locking cap fits inside them.

Yea, just pretty much repeating what RG said.

There's some Grub Screws round the side that hold it to the original cap. So when you Flip the top of the Aston, you stick the key in the old one, twist and pull the whole lot off. Locking Cap and Aston.

You sometimes have to fiddle around with the Filler Pipe to allow enough clearance to put the Aston on top of the Locking Cap.

I actually took mine off because it looked a bit out of proportion with the rest of the car.

[RacingGreen]

the monza caps are a little smaller. One of those may look a little better.

Oooh, I don't know, I've had one for 3 years, and still comes up like new with a bit of autosol..

What you do have to watch out for is, you get the right one... the later injection (MPI's I think) have a slightly shorter filler neck which means you have to buy one specifically designed for it.. otherwise you will not be able to get the cap back on, and the top closed.
