Fuel Filler Cap hinge

[DickP]

Hi,

I am doing some corrosion treatment around the fuel filler on my 182. In removing the filler cap, the plastic hinge base plate disintegrated.

Is this part available separately and where from?

Thanks,

Not new it isn’t. New it’s only available as part of the fuel door, it all PIA.
Cost about £50.

Ask me how I know.

Hi,

Thanks. Are these no good then? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-RENA...445266&hash=item33f465abce:g:je4AAOSwylhc0p2C

Thanks,

You’re welcome to buy one.
But I wanted a genuine OEM one as I wasn’t prepared to have it arrive at the BodyShop and be a poor fit.

Just remember they're identical on all mk2 ph2 clios. Probably grab a vgc one from a breaker

@frayz Same. I bought genuine. But the design is crap really as its go plastic bolts which is kind a fit once and that's it. You'll have to break them to remove them.

But I didnt want to take the risk of the flap "drooping" after it was fitted on a non genuine item.

Hi,

Should it be of use to someone, it is possible to repair the mounting bracket if you can collect enough of the parts together. I glued mine back together and then used a junior hacksaw to remove the bolt head plastic surround, so it can be mounted back on using standard nuts and bolts with washers.

Photo attached. I will be painting the bracket and bolts with touch up paint once it's delivered.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
