I Been Looking At One Of Those Monza/Aston Style Caps And I Do Not Know How They Fit, Done a Couple Of Searches But Got Nothing!

Help?
And If You Have Any Photos Of The Other side Of The Below picture, Please Upload Thanks Alex

I have the monza caps on my car. Didn't fit them myself (they were there when I purchased the car) - but they look fairly simple to fit. There is a threaded color that is pressed onto the outside of the existing filler neck. The monza cap assembly then threads onto this collar (both the cap and latch assembly).

Easy Peasy.

Really easy to fit, i've had a couple on my car. The ones i've had just tighten onto the fuel neck with an allen key. Or as said above, just screw onto a collar.

Easy peasy,

They are really easy to fit mate. I got one with my car but took it off because it had gone nasty! Got a new one tho and fitted it within about 2 mins There are normally 3 screws that you tightened once you have placed the Monza cap over the fuel cap, you have to keep the original one Then just tighten them up using the allen key. I did mine up too tight once and it wrecked one of the screws, be carfeull

Some pictures of mine ...
You can just see where the screws are.

by the way this is the pictures of my old one!!

Im Still Confused, The Cap I Have On There Now Is Really stiff,
Does the cap go into the filler neck at all?

:S:S

its just like a collar and has some allen key grub screws around the outside put it on the neck without the fuel cap on do them up put the fuel cap on close it if it doesnt fit loosen it and move it.

I have these on my car, but have an issue with fuel leaking out a bit. Does anyone else have this problem?

[POWER5LAVE]

yes i have one like yours, by any chance you dont use the original cap with your one as mine you dont and when you press it closed its got a rubber seal to stop the petrol but i have noticed petrol spillages might change mine back over to the newer ones that allow you to use the cap aswell

Yep - mine has the rubber seal type, doesnt have the original cap. I think it was from Minispares.
