That vid reminded me of when I was a ‘yute’, the local Chevy dealer gave my folks a new one to drive as a loaner when their 1963 Nova wagon was in the shop for repairs.

90% sure it's a fuel tank/reserve tank valve.

Thanks. That makes sense. I appreciate the input.

I repaired the nose box, radiator and fiberglass bodywork (front and rear sections). The car had no strakes on the fenders at that time so I think the images are more recent.
Wheels are AAR in-house design.

Fun fact.....MxA denotes the factory built McLaren team cars......MxB denotes customer cars built by a subcontractor, Trojan Cars....they built approx 200 McLarens from 1965 thru early 70's. Generally, the factory team cars had raw aluminum tubs whereas the Trojan built tubs were painted battleship gray cos it covers blemishes made during construction. Building a raw tub is an extremely fastidious job because of the drilling/adhesive/solid rivet process, and inaccessible spaces in the tub.
