Billet gas cap

I had a similar issue on my 65...and the little black fake rivets turned rusty in under a month. I have since replaced it with a NOS 71? 72? pop open I bought.

No problem with mine........... I painted the allen head screws on mine match my car

I think the cam piece and seal inside the cap can be rotated so the cap will twist into an upright position. On mine it doesn’t matter because my cap has no emblem

If the cable won't lay inside the cap when not installed, then it is too long and I'd send it back for a replacement. If it does lay inside the cap when not installed, then adjusting the cam piece inside the cap should solve your problem.

No matter what you do, there will be at least some fiddling to do when twisting the cap into place because the pin that holds the cable to the cap has to slide over the cable.

I'm returning it. It's too much money for something that is not going to last and is not built right to begin with. Plus, my car is devoid of any bling so it is not something I really need. Now as to where to spend that $85....

Ditto on my '70.
I really liked the way it looked (and actually, that one fit fine), but within two weeks, one of the rivets had already started rusting/fading in colour.
I took it back to Cal Mustang, and was told they couldn't replace it for me, it had to be returned to the manufacturer for replacement!!! Needless to say, that didn't fly well, since I'd be without a gas cap for XXX amount of time, besides the obvious B.S. factor. We finally agreed to go with a different variety (black anodized with silver rivets) instead, which they were kind enough to give me on the spot... :/
Unfortunately, this one doesn't fit as well as the first - same prob as above with long cable, and not lining up right.
I first tried - and really liked - a '71-'73 pop-top which looked awesome, but didn't fit flush like it should, and got in the way of using the key on the trunk.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you.
You have way more room between the cap and your trunk lock than I do; unfortunately, I had to open the pop-top every time I used the trunk, and even then it was a tight turn for the key! :/
