Spent a few hours with my scanner last night, trying to convert pictures of
my '71 Ambassador to some sort of usable electronic format. No luck. Will
try again tonight.
In the meantime, perhaps someone can answer a question that is of no
particular importance, but I've been curious about for a long time:
Is there any rhyme or reason as to which bikes got flip open gas caps, and
which got screw-offs?
Most of the Ambos and Eldos that I've seen have the flip-up style gas cap,
but mine has a twist cap. (I don't know if the cap that was on mine when I
got it was original, but it was quite plain and agricultural looking. I'm
now using a suitably Italian looking cap from a Fiat Spyder.) BTW, late
model H-D caps also fit, but need to be vented.
Thanks in advance,
Jay Williams
