Bit of a crazy post now i know, but does anyone know what Aluminium fuel cap will fit on a 5 door nova, it IS different to the 3 door!! I've heard some people have managed to bodge 3 door ones on there but i'm not sure really!! Any suggestions would be great!!

none of the aluminium caps/chrome caps that i have seen as fitting a nova fit a five door mate - i did have a link for a company that made them somewhere but they are expensive - i'll try and find it for ya..

the 5-door caps are completely different from what i have seen - the surround on the 5-door caps is a lot less shallow than the 3-doors if you understand what i mean? and because of that you need a cap with a longer barrel than the 3-door caps have - i think :?

if u cant find one go to a local engineering firm as a last resort i ure desperate - will b more pricy but it mite b the only way. personally i had no idea they were different
you could always get it relocated. Again, bit of an extreme measure, but its another option.

ill tell u wot i have seen dun that looks cool,
like a body coloured disk over the original cap with a hole for the key (not described very imaginitvly)
gives the impression of a smooth cap - shud be cheapo too!

I've heard that some people have managed to somehow push the filler neck further out of the car and made the 3 door one fit as the filler neck was easier to access!! Not too sure meself but it may be an idea.....
