I have one of these fillers

And I was thinking of buying one of the flappy reducers that are sold, thing is where abouts does the reducer go. There is a lip that the locking cap sits on and locks so I can only think under that but surely it'll just fall down into the tank? Anyone got one like this?

it fits into the back of the neck, were the filler hose will connect held in by a circlip/snap ring type affair

for SVA unless your car has a cat fitted you don't need one. Just thought it might save you a few quid.

Our filler cap is identical to that one. We made a restrictor from aluminium that sits on the lip in the neck and then drilled three small holes above it and popped a few rivets in to hold it in place. Locost option.
