Benimar Water filler external fitting

[Yorkshirehead]

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get a water filler flap and fitting for my 2018 Benimar Tessoro 486, please? Photos attached.

Cheers

Is it a direct swap you're looking for.

I only ask because the photo's you've provided
don't look as if there's anything wrong with them (other than FW&T)

They are quite common I don't think you can buy the flat separately, check the dimensions and mountings as there are a couple of manufacturers.

Hi Emmit, The clip at the bottom of the flap has snapped. Blutak has done a wonderful job so far but..?

I too broke the useless catches. Also tried blutack for a bit. Got sick of it flapping in the wind. Get the newer model with the magnetic catch. Only downside is it attracts ferrous road muck so you get two permanent dirty circles on the plastic.

A couple of small neodym disc magnets glued to each part would sort that out.

You could go 21st Century and glue some magnetic strip to the flap and its receiving cover.

Thanks Emmit. I’m one of the Tykes who don’t.
