I want an aero look fuel cap i.e flush fitting and in black (i guess it will need to be anodised around fuel)

merlin motorsport sell a good one but its £112.17 + delivery! (Clicky)

anyone know of a cheaper source?

Rally design do one.

or europa...

adrian

neither are particulalry cheaper

the europaspares one is + vat so £110 ish

the rally design one requires the filler hose at a further £14 then Vat again making it around £100

they seem awefully expensive for what they are

Only cheap way I know is to get one from a motorbike and add a funnel.

I would agree they seem unreasonably expensive.

I seem to remember that Frost's do a home anodizing kit for about £60. You could get this and anodize a normal aluminium fuel cover. You'd probably end up spending more but you could anodize to your hearts content after that!

Also I suppose you could spray it with the correct paint. I use Jotun Paints hardtop flexi for my parts and nothing takes it off when wet let alone dry. Cleaning brushes is hard as nothing will touch it not even petrol or brake fluid. The only thing that gets rid of once dry is either a sharp metal object or the angry grinder.
