[Healeys] Concours Question 6 cylinder Oil filler cap

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

Michael,
I do not believe that, as I know several 100/6s which kept the original 
rimless cap. I still have about a douzent painted rocker covers (valve 
covers) with both styles, half of each. The caps were not available 
aftermarket for many years.

As far as I can determine from the responses that I have received the 
"rimmed" style of cap was most likely the only type that was available 
during the production period. 
It seems fairly certain that the other "rimless" style only became 
available in later years.

  That leaves the question open: When was the change from the early version
  to the rimmed cap?
  My 62 BT7 already had the rimmed version. I know earlier 100/6s had the
  other cap.

  Many thanks to all who took the time to respond to my oil cap question. 
  It seems that the original type, with only 1 exception, is the "rimmed"
  cap.
  We will be updating the Concours Guidelines appropriately.

    I have been asked a question by a gentleman restoring a late BJ8 about
    oil filler caps.
    The cap on his car is of this type and he is fairly sure that it is
    original.

    However I am fairly sure that the only original caps that I have seen
    on 6 cylinder engines look like this.

    with the distinct "rim" around the edge.
     
    Would appreciate anyone with a known original late BJ8 letting me know
    which type of cap is fitted to their car.
     
    Many thanks
