The Smell of old cars...

Next job on the list was to investigate the mixed aroma of old rubber and petrol.

I quite liked it but as anybody who sat in the car left with the sent of Spitfire I decided it needed addressing.

After a search of the forum's the likely candidate was the fuel tank pipe that was supposed to be capped off.

Out with the tank and a close inspection showed that the cap was indeed cracked. On-line to check for a replacement and found the NLA tag on the part. So with a little think and a trip to the local motor factors and I had a new cap. Major over engineering but does the job lovely. One bolt , rubber tube and 2 jubilee clips.......
