These English fuel caps are used on most of the worlds super cars and bikes, and some series production aero planes. They are beautifully made in forged and bright anodized aluminum.

I am biased! This picture shows the Aero A30*-RV with a curved flange to fit most Vans wings. *=L or S as wanted. It used to be sold by Vans as a luxury option. For flatter wings like the RV 10 the flat rivet flange A30*-R Is better. These caps can only be fitted while building the tanks.
