Removal of chrome fuel cap

[Martin White]

Just a quick one folks

I want to re-chrome my fuel cap. I have a 1976 spitfire 1500. I can see that there are two small holes at the back and side of the cap. Does this contain a retaining pin? If so can I just knock this out and remove? If not what is the easiest way to remove?

Thanks in advance

yes the hinge pivot is a roll pin type of pin 

take care or you can fracture the remaining base part

...and don't drop the pin in the tank!!!!

The filler cap is attached to the tank by a short piece of hose. There are hose clamps holding the cap to the hose and the hose to the tank ...
