Due to a long, frustrating series of events I've lost the fuel filler flap for my 71 super. I can find standard flaps, but the super flap has a different latch, and I think maybe a slightly different shape? Getting a respray soon so any help would be appreciated...

If you let us know your location, you will probably get someone nearby that can help you.

I thought I had one but cannot find it. I am sure there will be someone else pipe up though.

Good luck.

I have one that has the internal release - not just the spring flap as on my old 1975 1303

I actually have the whole cut.
On one of my L's it was rusty and i bought this to do a complete swap over.

That was years ago - drive Vanagons now

Whatever - I'm in Sydney
You want the whole cut or just the flap?

I have a work mate that commutes to Acacia Ridge (sp?) every Thursday - but he has just gone on 2 weeks holiday

Not sure what you mean by the cut, but I'm just after the flap assembly, and the screws if you have them... I'll shoot you a message

Awesome, are you coming to action day at Wynnum in Sunday? I'm not, but I live about two blocks away and can organise someone to be here.

I need the flap, and it's screws if possible. Also, if you have them available I'd need two door hinge screws, screw hole plugs and rear-top door felt channel, and a glove box insert (the one with the bonnet release) only if you have them to spare. My chrome window trim/scrapers are a bit shitty as well, but they don't necessarily need to be changed though...

Everything else can wait though, I need the flap as I'm getting a respray soon

Thanks heaps for the reply.

Any help is appreciated, shoot me a message...
