hey guys, so in my actual progress thread for my GT you all know that i decided to get myself a Mugen oil cap. I ordered a genuine cap, and a fake copy from e-bay (of which i am still waiting on it being delivered from china).
so whilst I am waiting for this to be delivered, i made a start in choosing which spare oil cap i am going to use as the first mule.
STAGE 1
1 - this is an oil cap from a clio mk 2 phase 1 D7F 722 engine (but this will be applicable for any D7F engine). this is the clean one, the dirty one is from the Twingo GT D4FT 780 (but will be applicable to all TCE engines)
2 - as seen here, the part numbers match up. the lighter coloured one is from the clio, darker one is from the Twingo GT. Both are M31 thread pitches, ignore the 7 / 11 numbers. those mean nothing as do the bottom numbers.
you can also see that they line up with the same dimensions, focus on my camera at this close a distance is a bit hazy at best but you can still see fairly well.
stage 2 will be happening as soon as i get the fake Mugen cap through the post. the idea will be to cut, fabricate and bond both together. top side mugen, bottom side renault. once in place, you won't see the bottom end.
