Application
This late version was introduced during WWII production as an improvement on the earlier protruding version. The recessed design offered better protection against damage and was retrofitted to many vehicles. Suitable for late production and modified early vehicles.
Installation notes
Check that your vehicle is fitted with the late (recessed) filler neck. Early models with protruding filler neck require a different cap. Ensure correct placement of the rubber sealing ring. Attach the chain to the bracket provided to prevent loss.
Compatibility
NOT interchangeable with early (protruding) version. Early models had a 'stuck out' cap; late models a 'recessed' cap. Many early vehicles were retrofitted to the late version in 1944-1945. Check your filler neck type before ordering.
Historical context
During WWII production, manufacturers switched from protruding to recessed fuel filler neck designs for better resistance to damage in rough terrain. This improvement was retrofitted to many vehicles.
