Now I have a round old metal cap with vw on it.

What was stock on these cars? I want to get a new cap; preferably on with a Porsche crest.

I look on ebay and see nothing. Is a 911 cap the same?

Looks like this: really $100 on ebay??

This is the stock early (1970-74) filler cap. It has patina! They were not produced with a crest. Vintage! and only $5 + shipping! Let me know if interested...

I was able to coat mine in zinc!

Nice job Jeff. I did the same.

Hey bud....do you think crack grows on trees?

You can buy them new at all vw parts dealers.
They are very cheap.

They are easy to find.

The later caps do not have the VW logo. VW Thing used the same cap as the 914.

I'm not selling this but if I'll sell mine if some V dub dude thinks it's something special.

914rubber sells new gaskets for the original cap I think.

I have a nice VW cap on my Thingy. I have a couple of extras, I can add a Porsche emblem to it for the look you want.

Here are some ideas that I have been playing with.

Sorry for the blurry pics. The first one is a sticker. The second is a Porsche badge.

How do you uncrimp the cap to disassemble the internal rubber seals before sending to the platers .

The OEM seal wil tear. Yes, I do have a rubber version that you can use to replace it.

I epoxied a center cap to mine

Yes caps with Porsche on these; this is what I was thinking. But in the meantime I ordered this:

The caps that I have are not chrome plated, although they look like it. They are hand polished to a very high shine.

A great idea for a very nice looking cap.

Back to square one...this sh!t didn't fit...too small and doesn't screw on.

This is nice...with an emblem?

As I look at the pics here. It's hard to tell the sizeof the 914 cap. It looks smaller. Listing say 70mm.

The capp I need is like the one in the pic with the ruler...it's big. Are these different sizes? I have the collar around the tank top but not expansion tank.

This is what I'm using for a gas cap. This is polished stainless steel

I ordered one too and didnt fit LOL

So is early different from later? It looks like my cap is the larger; like a Ghia or Thing caps I see on ebay? All listed at 60mm, 70mm, even 100mm.

The pics here show both types. Mine caps the whole top of the collar hole around the tank fill hole...which is a smaller hole.

I'll try and post a pic.
