Because I have NFI
  It is a plated Brass Cap with a thread which is only 10mm smaller than the face diameter of ~63mm. Paper-ish sealing gasket |

Model T Ford (1924 to 1927) Fuel Cap like this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-1927-f...item41a6456da1 and http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages...tml?1252591271 It'll polish up nicely.

It wasn't hard to ID (where's my prize :-) ) as sadly I am old enough and came from isolated rural area that was poor enough for these to still be common on cars (and especially farm vehicles) when I was a child. We had a 1927 Holden bodies Hudson Essex Super Six converted to a light pickup.

thanks peeps. I did a bit of searching, cant find the exact same one but certainly either a fuel cap or early radiator cap (ie Ford Prefect/Anglia 10HP/14HP)

That is a Wing Wong for a Gooses Bridle. Well, Ok it's a T Model fuel cap. Fits a 44 gallon drum as well, I think.

a) Join that forum and ask per http://www.mtfca.com/cgi-bin/discus/...g=instructions b) Search that forum using the term "Gas Cap" http://www.mtfca.com/cgi-bin/discus/search.cgi Note most you find now have the silver plating polished off so they are now shiny brass coloured and many now have a vent hole drilled in them and then a splash guard inserted in the base so the fuel doesn't splash out the added vent hole.
