A cap that's flat and is knobbed like a water spicket would work, I think that's how the one on the 7A was. Perhaps it or another like it would have the right threading.

Could try one off a 5s as well. It's not nearly as tall as that.
Worst case scenario, get some hood spacers where the hood bolts to the hinges and bump that b!tch up hahaha |

Lol thats funny. Never tought they would exist. But the hood would look funny. IMO. Ive tought about relocating the oil cap. Ive searched for slim caps. You name it. Someday an idea will pop...

Talk about tight clearances. Probably the best thing to do then would be to take some firm enough rubber that's oil resistant etc and make a plug/stopper.

I think hood spacers look retarded. And thse are only 3/4 inch and expensive at local harware store. Black chrome.
434A7E1D  03CD5CA1  And the end look i dont like FD1E97F3  BCEA1530  Happen to just find them at ace harware. Worst of all clearance. CB24F6AD  Was only improved marginally This post has been edited by njccmd2002: Sep 25, 2017 - 1:11 AM -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

is it hitting the bracing of the hood or the top part of the hood?
I know it's not ideal, but would cutting into the bracing help? -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

Put up a pic of where it's hitting under the hood please sir.
and I know it's a tight fit but does the hood close with no cap ? or no close without damage ? This post has been edited by Batman722: Nov 19, 2015 - 6:59 PM -------------------- |

The picture posted on the red view is with the hood closed. It closes with no cap. I already cut the bracing on the hood for the cam sensor. I have ordered a slim cap. When that gets here ill cut the space i need. I hate to cut the hood. The spacers are not growing on me... I have tought about relocating the oil filler in the future. I hate tight clearances..... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL

I rather cut and retack bracing than have to deal with hood spacers, at least when it's all said and done it really won't be glaringly obvious the bracing was cut in a few small spots.
