Does anyone know where I can get a gas cap for my 53 chevy that has a small round spring loaded door in the center which accepts the current fuel nozzles   :?:
Thanks,
Bud

The Hagan cap won't work on your old Chev or any other old car. The cap has a thread on it. You will have to buy the kit as shown and weld/glue the new pipe to your old pipe.

I see.  Will the new pipe slip over the old pipe or is it the same size :?:
Thank you Harry,

 I checked on their website. But they don't have one for my ol 53.  I may be able to modify it so next time I go to the parts store I'll check one out.
Thank you much,
Bud

The Hagan pipe is 2" outside diameter. Mine comes straight in from the cap, but I think they sell a 90* also.

If you watch ebay for "Perma Cap" you might get lucky and find the older style.  As noted, most are threaded for later model apps with emissions.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity meet.
