Reviews

Worked perfectly for the fuel caps for an RV-10. Miine had worn and would no longer snap into place when closing. The latch would want to sit slightly proud above the cap. Thought I would have to replace the whole cap until finding this part. Worked PERFECT!

I used this “cap only” to rebuild a 18 year old cap on my F1 Rocket. The old cap over center feel was getting a bit numb. The new parts fit beautifully and now my caps work like new. A 5 minute job, should have done this sooner.
