@MarkMas but 7.5mm would be too loose I fear. The 6mm fit of the VW tether is a little loose as it is, but does make fitting easy.
I misled you all. The VW tether does just about stretch but the flap does not open fully with it attached. That does not stop you opening the cap and placing on the hook on the lid though.
So we do have a solution, and having approached a supplier we may have a better solution still in the future.
Any suggestions for cleaning the filth from around cap? Autoglym Polar Wash has made very little impression.
Here is the link to the tether I bought which comes complete with 2 new pins should you manage to lose the originals:

I only post the link as some VAG tethers on ebay have a curved end rather than straight all the way through, and so that may further affect the fit (stretch) in a detrimental way.
