    Question has anyone adapted a Ford Easy Fuel cap to the Aston LeMans Style Cap?

    FFR gives you a modern vacuum cap that is concealed inside the polished aluminum exterior of the LeMans Cap

    can a passthru cap be used instead of a twist on/off?

    I had one like this: https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Hagan...iABEgJbVfD_BwE on our MK-II for a bit. Had some issues with it not allowing the gas nozzle to auto-shutoff and got a lot of back-splash when I pulled the nozzle out of the filler. Went back to the standard "manual" style cap and haven't had a problem since.

    But as they say......"Your mileage may vary."

    I got the same thing from Breeze.

    There is still snow on the ground here so I haven't actually used it yet, but I like the idea. It fits under the LeMans cap on my MKII with no interference.

    The Breeze cap works great!
