917K BLAU 110mm Fuel Cap, OEM, ALL Aluminum (eBay May2005)
Here we see yet another rare Blau 110mm Cogged Aluminum Fuel Cap https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/43574811. This one showed up on eBay in May/2005 and while 'stepping-up to the plate' again, I was very fortunate to win the auction among the many bidders. One of the unique feature of these rare Blau caps is the center section under the cap, that is Aluminum and NOT steel, see here https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/43574817. One simple test, take a magnet and see if it will stick, this cap passed the 'magnet-test'. Compare this Aluminum Cap to these two others that are attached to a 917K https://pbase.com/9146gt/blau_110mm_cap_fuel_aluminum_from_917k
This Blau cap shows signs someone made a poor and improper attempt to take apart the rare cap with a pair of pliers https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/43574823, no success and could have ruined the part. Keep an eye on this photo gallery as I will probably document how to properly restore this very rare piece.
