Petrol / Fuel Flap Protective Rubber Pad – Correct Grey Colour

Restore one of the often-overlooked details of your classic Porsche with this OE Match Petrol / Fuel Flap Protective Rubber Pad. This high-quality replacement pad protects the painted surfaces around the fuel filler area while helping the fuel flap close securely and quietly.

Fits:

• Porsche 911 1965-1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)
• Porsche 911 1968-1973 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB (F)

Although small in size, the protective rubber pad performs an important role by cushioning the contact point between the fuel flap and bodywork. Over time, the original rubber hardens, cracks, compresses or disappears altogether due to age, fuel exposure and changing temperatures. Once worn, the fuel flap can rattle, sit incorrectly or cause damage to surrounding paintwork.

Manufactured to OE Match standards, this replacement rubber pad restores both the appearance and functionality of the original assembly, making it an ideal choice for concours restorations, sympathetic refurbishments or routine maintenance.

What Does the Fuel Flap Protective Rubber Pad Do?

The protective rubber pad acts as a cushion between the fuel flap and the surrounding bodywork.

Its primary functions include:

• Preventing metal-to-metal contact.
• Protecting surrounding paintwork from wear.
• Reducing vibration and rattles.
• Supporting correct fuel flap alignment.
• Providing a cushioned closing point.
• Preserving the original factory design.

Despite its simple design, it plays an important role in maintaining the fit and finish of the fuel filler area.

Why Replace the Fuel Flap Rubber Pad?

After decades of service, original rubber components naturally deteriorate.

Common signs of failure include:

• Cracked or split rubber.
• Hardened material.

• Paint marks around the filler opening.
