Locking Petrol cap for early bay - anyone sourced one?

[D-FENS]

Given the price of petrol these days, I wondered if it was 'fuelling' demand for EB locking caps up to 1971?

Are these available anywhere, or do I need to drill the door and fit a padlock? :mrgreen:

2 ways of looking at this problem, what would you rather have.. a stolen tank of fuel or crow bar damage to the side of your bus where the scum bags have levered your cap off i know which option i would choose!!

is that the one that comes in 2 parts? You have to secure a metal ring into the filler neck? Are they pretty secure?

I've got a nice chrome one on my 1971 bay.. too dark now but will take it off and have a look for make/number anything that might help you source it..

Yes thats right, they fit and work very well!
I will replace it with a nice chrome one when i find a decent priced one :roll:

Here's the thing, at 65 sheets a pop It's cheaper to lose a tank of fuel! Value is my middle name so now I see a 'gym locker' style thing emerging in my minds eye. Yeah I know, I'm an animal, if I have time I may design and make an attachment to lock the original cap in place instead, with a padlock naturally!

I may of read this wrong but you can get plastic locking caps from JK for around £10 if i remember - better safe than sorry.
Fitted earlybay 72.

I got a plastic locking cap from GSF for my crossover bay, as my van has the early bay petrol flap.
