Fuel filler retainer spring photo

Post by ChuckIe »

Hello,

I am helping a friend restore his 1980 Fiat Spyder. We are in need of a photo that shows how the fuel filler retainer spring installs.

Thank you.

Take your time. It may have just been me but it took me about 40 minutes to get that little spring to line up just right and have the poper torsion for the lid. It is just one of those design things where you scratch your head until it clicks.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!
