The locking flap for my gas cap is gone, is there a replacement for that, or can I change to a newer year cap assembly, I don't want to give up my larger tank, and mine is in pretty good shape with no dents, so I just need to fix the cap bit
I thought someone posted that many hard to find parts are still available in the UK through the FJ club(s) there. Would be pricey but keep it mind as a last resort. :empathy3:
too pricey and I can live without the lock cover, it doesn't rain often in hell
Thuber3040, you live in Phoenix?
I've been running my '84 without the swinging part for years now. (yea, I live in Phx, err hell). Lee has a theory that running a tank bag is what knocks them loose/off. I find that the biggest offense is the gunk that builds up from presumably gas vapors that linger about the key hole. Easy to clean. I didn't find any of the lock covers when I did a short search. Found a parts bike with one, then it disappeared too. I gave up on that 'feature' and now just clean the gunk annually. :yahoo:
Only years I know that fit are the '84 - '85. I think the '86 and up switched to the aviation style cap and would require a lot of modification to swap.
No My version of hell is Vegas, same temps, #$%@# place to live
