Issue with flip top gas cap
Decided to just re engineer it. Spring is too long and stiff. The tolerences are just crap on both hinge and latch side with 1/16 of play on each. And to boot its made to mount horizontal and we mount them vertical for an a-body. So if the latch is 1/16 high and the hinge is 1/16 low. Its off by 1/8... which is a lot. A few bush and softer spring and it should be fine. Sucks but that what happens when everything we buy is a copy of a copy with sweatshop Q.C... the appearance is a solid ten tho. Chrome is nice and castings are good. Just poor fit and finish
