T-00007 Weight
I was enlarging the fuel tank filler hole today for the alternative T-00007 cap, and decided to see how much weight we are saving. According to my wife's kitchen scale, the new cap plus flange together weigh 3 3/8 oz, and the standard Vans cap plus flange (T-406A & B) together weigh 6 oz. I don't have any deluxe caps to weigh unfortunately. But my total weight saving vs the standard cap will be 5 1/4 oz. Plus I think the new caps are much better than the old ones since they are so much easier to operate. They don't have locks but I'm not keen on having extra keys to lose!
