Guest Rays the roof Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 On the NA (mine anyway) it faces forward and it is from the same batch. Hodge & DNK ? How are yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine sits on an angle, thats why i asked if you could get the genuine sticker and i was going to change it. Looks bad the way it is, i'll take a pic if you wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 No it doesn't sit skew if it is original! Can you change mine for an original one then please as im not happy paying £60 for a fake or even if the stickers on the skew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Where did you get them from Ray? I'm pretty sure they aren't genuine. Have a look at the depth of the "dish" area on mine compared to the likes of Dunk's. Seems really shallow in comparison. Just having another look at it I'm thinking that they may be for a different car with the same fitting? Perhaps the seller noticed that the fitment was the same, but the design was different?

JamieP Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Mine sits the same, tweak it back a bit and looks ok but better if the sticker was the other way, i was tempted to try and peel it off and turn it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean undo the cap a bit ? no thanks i'd prefer it to be fully shut and surely the logo should read as Scott M's from the front ? I was tempted to see if the sticker would come off but im not going to risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supplier is a guy I know who imports TRD stuff from Japan, so I know they are genuine. I can only think that they are for another Jap car but would expect the fitting of the oil cap to be identical??

Where the cap rotates to will depend on the orientation of the cut outs in the cam cover If you could get me one with the sticker lining up the same as Scott M's then great and swap the one i have. If refund is the only option then i'll send it you back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Want me to go out and take some pics... on and off the car etc? You can do but not sure how it will help Ray, they should send the sticker and cap seperate then when you put the cap on your car you can apply the sticker where ever you want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Was just to see if there was any difference in the cap design. Not to worry though Would make more sense to have the sticker separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rays the roof Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Bump I will PM you address to return the cap. I will test it against mine and either send you one back that you will be happy with or send a full refund. Ramondo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Can TRD badges for oil caps be purchased, as mine got lost. I asked Ray if he could get them as i'd of just peeled off the one on my oil cap and fitted a new one but inline. He said he couldnt get them when i asked a couple of weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rays the roof Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Take a look below: Two identical GENUINE caps fitted to NA (right) and TT (left) cam covers. And the reason is: Yet another reason why the NA is better than the TT Dunken - I am happy to attempt to remove and replace the sticker if you accept the risk. Otherwise I will refund you and sell onto another member. I am happy to do either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Mine is genuine and fits square though Ray. Is it possible that there is a TT unit and an N/A unit? Having a look at Dunk & Jamies posts they would seem to note that they are off center when tightened on properly, they don't sit at exactly 90 degrees from square as per your pic.

If mine sat square either way like yours in the pics then fine i'd live with it but it doesnt, if you look at my pic its on the skew when properly turned shut. Im not keen on you trying to remove and refit the sticker at my risk so if you cant supply the correct fitment for a tt then i'll have my money back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
