is this an oil cap ?
It was fitted on an Arado 96, and I would say it was an oil cap.

Can anybody in the audience confirm this ?

Thank you in advance, good evening;

GC

Attached to the other side I think you will find evidence that there was once a dip-stick.

this is the back of the cap: there was a chain.

What could be the use of this cap ?..........

Merry Christmas to all.
