I want (two) chrome fuel caps, lockable. Old school. They used to have

a" flat" face.

Thanks

There's an Ad in the SA Hotrods mag, think its from Street Rod Factory that advertises for the fuel caps. Will try and find the mag and take a pic.

Also does the fuel cap have to lock? Have you considered using an anti-syphoning spring if you concerned about people stealing your fuel?

Fuel caps are generally not universal and nearly every make and most models have different fittings/sizes/diameters...

What car/s is it for ?

Just for Info. The Kommando had a PJ Chrome petrol cap that had a flat face. They are available but you must be sure of the correct length!
