Could you just not change the mount/hinge so it's at the rearmost end of the fuel cap?

yeah i might have too ..

the problem is there is no room for the hinge on that side, also the piece inside (where you put the nozzle) is on a angle, so the release button wont fit either

Get one from a car with it on the opposite side, will then open the opposite way. Or just shift it to behind the taillight. :wink:

tail lights are being changed as well .... :D other wise i would do the hinge that you suggested before

hmm yeah i never thought about one opens the other side, might just have to make one that pop's on and hope no one steals my petrol 8O

any one have a idea what cars have one on the opposite side ? 8)

or if you have one ... how much do you want for it :D 8)

MKIII+ supras have this.. the filler is on the drivers side :)

most that were sold in the US should have their filler on the drivers side... which is infact the passenders side in the US - duh! :)

If not a toyota, most things Euro should have them on the opposite side.

I thought most of the E7's were key operated? The one I used on my Corolla ute was from drivers side of a Subaru Legacy wagon, I had it flipped around and mounted in the tray.

Z30 soarers have the filler on the drivers side and are operated by a solenoid so that us lucky soarer owners dont have to stress about pulling a cable every couple of days to fill up :evil:

There is also a cable that you can pull that is inside the boot when the electrics fail.
