Funny where OCD leads you.
Today I was idly checking that the black wires are offset around the valve, as they are on the Roadster wheels, and so they are. It's a very subtle offset, but the two spokes - either side of the valve are further apart than the rest.
You'll have to check this out I know.
Then I decided to look at the filler cap key on the Roadster, The key number is 044. I idly wondered if by some coincidence that Bumble would be the same. He is, 044. So now I'm wondering if they are all 044.....
Over to you. smirk2

I have been told by Borghi that all Morgan filler caps on recent models are 044. I ordered a spare cap from the manufacturer as I wanted to make it so that I could open it with the ignition key and it was 044 too.

This was after an incident where I embarrassingly left the fuel cap key at the B&B. Just managed to make it back, coasting down all the hills.

End result after a little careful locksmithing and I now have a fuel cap that is compatible with the ignition key. By shear luck it still opens with the 044 key too.

Well having replaced my filler with a Stainless Monza one I have a different key, and I certainly am not going to get the old one out to satisfy your OCMD somestick
