just a heads up that cj's has the repop pop open gas cap kits on closeout. complete kit minus the emblem for $27 w/ free shipping. got mine in today & it looks good.
 
Order 2 and picked up the emblems at Dallas Mustang this last weekend. DM was having their open house so I go 10% off the emblems.
 
I bought mine at a local shop:

American Mustang Parts
11315 Folsom Blvd
Rancho Cordova, CA 95742 (suburb of Sacramento)
916-635-7271

cost for the embelm was $14.30 + tax
 
Got mine today. It had some scratches like it was dropped. Have to send it back. :cry
Looks good otherwise. Can't wait to get the new on now.
 
Got mine this afternoon. Beautiful. I'm a far cry away from putting it on but it was too good a deal to pass up.
BTW, no, they are not damaged thus the sale. It was new, chrome awesome and well packed. Many times the vendor will pack the chrome with the screws for whatever part it is. It pisses me off. Screws scratch dumbass. This pop-open cap was wrapped in a soft material and the screws and other items were bagged.
Now, how does it all go together? There were no instructions! :rp

I rec'd mine yesterday and it was fine.

I put it together today and would not have figured it out except I had another complete gas cap assy to use as a model. I'll post instructions tomorrow(if I can remember), too busy at work now but off the bat, my 4 screws were to large of a diameter (size #5?), you need size #4, quantity 4.
 
Here are some quick instructions:

1. install the emblem on the flip-door. In my emblem kit, the supplied retainers were one size too big, I needed 3/16 (?) but Lowe's was out of those and I bought 5/32" e-clips instead.
2. turn the flip door upside down, resting the emblem against a towel (FYI, I did not take the flip door off the base)
3. place the spring against the back of the door
4. get the "cup" that has the gasket on it, place it on top of the spring with the gasket facing up
5. get the longer of the machine screws and the one washer, place the washer into the recessed hole of the cup and use the screw to attach the cup/screw assy to center hole in the back of the door
6. place the small rubber/black gasket in the recessed area of the gasket cup
7. lay the small "cap" over the black gasket, pointed end up, and use the 4 screws (in my case #4 machine 1/2" long) to attach the small cap to the gasket cup.
