Does anyone know if the flush mount gas cap found at newspeedmaster.com will fit the 2008 Speedmaster? According to the website it may or may not. http://www.newspeedmaster.com/html/flush_mount_gas_cap.htmlthanks...

If it doesn't, you can roll your own.

You can search the topic on the forum and get a lot of responses to this question. It has been reported numerous times that the flush mount cap will not fit the 07 and 08 models of Americas and Speedmasters. Apparently, there was a re-tooling of the tank threading. The stock caps used to fit a little loose, now they fit better so it seems they enlarged the thread slightly.

I just put that very gas cap on my '07 Speedmaster. Saw the warnings about it not fitting, but my dealer had one hanging on the wall....loved the look, so brought it home and it screwed right in.....no problem. The kit has 2 different style rubber gaskets, so you can get a leak proof seal. So far, no leaks. Great addition to the console.
