Diamond T 969 fuel cap

Thanks Maurice. No doubt about it now. Those caps are definitely the same. Now the question is why would Australian Diamond T's have had a change of fuel tank? (Talking about two I know of and waiting on someone to check the wrecker at Bandiana). And why would you change to a motor cycle tank neck and cap? Especially since the standardized tank of later war years had the four inch cap. I know some of the Australian Diamond T's with the early civvy gauges had the gauge holes blanked off and re cut to take the standard military gauges.

Jack, I was in Bandiana for work and stopped in to the museum to photograph the Ford WOT and took some pics of fuel caps for you.
The museum Diamond T fuel fillers are all the same and there a 2 types/variations of caps, but all the same diameter and locking lugs/tangs.
Checked both the wreckers and tank transporter.

Jack, how close is a blitz cap, ?.

Bob, I've got a new cap from Maurice. What I need now to change the tank back to original is a filler neck. The early jeeps had a two inch neck as did Studebakers so I have learned.
