Fuel restrictor

I have one of these fillers

Fuel Filler
Fuel Filler


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?

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.
