fuel filler flap removal.
« on: 14 February 2019, 16:22:50 »

I need to remove the above item to use it for a paint match, as the car was resprayed a few years back but in a whiter shade than its original 10L. I have asked the guy who did the respray,but he can't find it in his records...just need to get some rattle cans made up for some minor fettling. TIA :y

Thanks Al, these are the two screws that are visible as you open it? then do you just have jiggle it around a bit to get the hinge free? :-\

 If it is like a Monza/Carlton/Senator flap, it is recessed into the body so needs to be pulled toward the filler neck.
May need the cap off for a bit more room mate

Yes plus Keith's reply. The hinge is in the black plastic part and kind of swings out around the wing
