I have occasionally discussed with Tom the rubber flat that folds out from a GTE's fuel filler.
I don't have one.
They were connected to the body work by a metal strip.
There were mounting holes in the bodywork for the screws.
See David Wheeler's picture below of 2713 (top picture).
My car, 2837 GT has no such holes (bottom 2 pictures).
The GTE manual shows no rubber flap present (see page 3)
So, my first question is did all GTE's feature the flap or was it only later ones?
David's car has an lower s/n than mine but was used the factory as an S3 prototype, when the flap could have been added.
Or, did all GTE's have the rubber flap meaning mine was lost and the holes filled on restoration in the 80's?
If they all had the flap I will look at a way of replicating it, if not I will happily not bother
