I have been looking for a fuel cap cover as well, with no joy. If you decide to reproduce them, let me know, I would be interested in one.
the diff cover is a fairly simple pressing as I'm sure you know and again if you decide to reproduce them, I would be interested in one. Maybe Bill would be up for it ?
On a similar note, I do have spare central bearing cover that goes on the underside, which could be copied if you are missing that as well

The sender unit cover fitted to my car, I think it is original. James if you need any more info let me know, don't suppose you have those dimensions yet?
Noel
Noel / Simon any measurements on either the diff cover or the fuel sender unit cover would be brilliant, i've got the underfloor center coupling cover its just the boot floor covers thats the problem, the customers car has a fuel cap that is alot different to yours and seems origional i will post a picture when i get a moment to find it ! noel i havent forgotton about exhaust measurements for you it was just the center box before the diff that you needed wasn't it?? |

Noel,
Yes, that is definitely the original fuel sender cover. It took me ages to find one .... I was using a stainless steel dog dish for a while ....

I know I said that I wouldn't put up pics of customers cars but i've been told that I should share this with you , rear of car has been converted to telescopic shocks so boot floor is none standard but all made 100% from scratch, its not finished yet but getting there, also managed to find a diff cover plate as a template but no fuel sender cover, there are also 2 different size holes for the fuel sender on different cars, i have 2 very origional cars with sound boot floors and both have different sized holes as in diameters  also included a pic of what appears to be an origional fuel cap (please correct me if i'm wrong but its the only one i've seen) |

Is this car a second series? The fuel lid is different to Noel's car and more what I am used to ..... and what I need !
Re. sender cover, I will take the spare wheel out tomorrow and measure the hole over the tank. I wonder how easy it would be to make a mould/template of the cover for you copy ??
I remember converting ''YRV'' to Koni telescopic dampers prior to the Pirelli Marathon a few years ago, they worked very well until the front wheel snapped and the poor car careered down the road on its suspension bottoms - true sliding pillars !
This looks like a neater set up than ours

James looking at some other Aprilias I don't think the height of my fuel cap is correct, like the cars you're working on when it was restored it had a completely new boot floor made, but I reckon the lid is correct. The other pics might be more accurate, both 1st series cars. The blue one without the lid is the Stainless Stephen Aprilia that has migrated back to my garage for a bit so Andrew and I can perform some major mechanical fixes!
