Cheapest "Accessory" or fix ever!

Post by GeorgeSK »

So sometimes my gas cap doesn't spring open. OK - it never springs open; I have to fiddle with it and then it will come up. Annoying!

The cheap fix: a bit of "Gorilla" tape.

This is what you see all the time:

Now there is a little something to grab, even with my gloves on. My life it just that little bit less annoying.

Now if I could just come up with something that would work on bimbos with cellphones...
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

;) Good ideas guys! It is a nuisance and worth a fix.
I can remember the days that my 2011 petrol lid stuck. They fixed that on my 2015 :D 8)
