Mike, Tom or anybody can you tell me who the original manufactures were that produced the gas caps for the 1940 Ford's. Was the Everseal #1603 or Stant #G25 or the #749 from the Badger tool & Mfg. Co. Chicago. U.S.A. Are any of these correct? Domenic This message was edited by thunder road on 11-9-17 @ 10:48 AM

The one in the photo does not appear to be correct. However, pictures are not the best source to inspect minor details. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Mike thanks for the input. Dose anyone have a picture of an original 1940 Ford gas cap? If so please post. Domenic Domenic This message was edited by thunder road on 11-9-17 @ 4:06 PM

I can't seem to take a good picture. Not one with enough clear detail that would help. I can tell you this: The outer edge had a rolled knurl to aid in gripping. This 14 pitch (14 per inch) knurl was approximately .210” wide. The inner steel pieces were cadmium plated. A brown fiber gasket provided the seal between the filler tube and cap. Being a vented type design, a .090” diameter hole centered in the rivet was only visible when the cap was removed. Mike "Kube" Kubarth
