    The PAS Fluid Cap on Lainey's Mk4 was so tight that I could not turn it with finger pressure.
    I did not want to damage it with pliers, etc., so I made this.
    I still had to use a spanner on the nut before I fitted the white knob.

    The nut is filed out with a snug fitting taper.
    The knob is from a garden hose pipe fitting.
