Thanks Josef, I will make some more enquiries about caps on original=20
earlier 6 cylinder cars.=20
Do you have any examples of known originals?

Michael,
I do not believe that, as I know several 100/6s which kept the original
rimless cap. I still have about a douzent painted rocker covers (valve
covers) with both styles, half of each. The caps were not available
aftermarket for many years.

As far as I can determine from the responses that I have received the
"rimmed" style of cap was most likely the only type that was available
during the production period.=20
It seems fairly certain that the other "rimless" style only became
available in later years.

That leaves the question open: When was the change from the early
version to the rimmed cap?
My 62 BT7 already had the rimmed version. I know earlier 100/6s had the
other cap.

Many thanks to all who took the time to respond to my oil cap question.

It seems that the original type, with only 1 exception, is the "rimmed"
cap.
We will be updating the Concours Guidelines appropriately.

I have been asked a question by a gentleman restoring a late BJ8
about oil filler caps.
The cap on his car is of this type and he is fairly sure that it is
original.

However I am fairly sure that the only original caps that I have seen
on 6 cylinder engines look like this.
[image.png]
with the distinct "rim" around the edge.

Would appreciate anyone with a known original late BJ8 letting me
know which type of cap is fitted to their car.
=20
Many thanks
