Petrol cap

Post by Zaphod »

The lock on my petrol cap is broken, in that locking lug on the cap itself that moves out when the key is turned is missing. It all looks like a modified Wilmot Breeden item any ideas where I can find a cap which may yield the missing part?
Of all the things I have lost I think I miss my mind the most...

Hi Stewart, just returning an update. Unable to find the old innards but do have a spare cap you can use until you get sorted
