gramercyjam Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Didn't know those things were so hard to find. I took a locking cap off of my '73 and bought a stock one at the Dealership. It is sitting on my shelf labeled "I'll never use this stuff, but can't bear to throw it away". There's gold in them thar shelves! --John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utvolman99 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Cant you just go to Autozone and buy a universal locking gas cap? I mean they might not be very pretty but they are under the cover... That is what I had to do for my mustang when the cap was stollen for the 3ed time! By the way the mustang had no cover. I had to look at the ugly thing every time I walked up behind it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 i tried to find one at autozone for three and a half years, and every time the inside diameter is too small to fit a z's "big mouth" gas filler, every time, if you find one let me know, mines chrome!

Guest bang847 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 if you went through that much trouble finding a locking gas cap you should of just installed a locking door or another filler... i know the locking door is avaliable in your local junk yard probably off a 280z.... what are you gonna do with the your old cap? i know the old big mouth caps are hard to find... I might need one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I think a motorcycle filler cap with lock and key would be my first choice. (basically aircraft style) Should be able to get one of those for less than $60 used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I think a motorcycle filler cap with lock and key would be my first choice. (basically aircraft style) Should be able to get one of those for less than $60 used... Where? A motorcycle wrecking yard? This is basically what I want to do, but I'm not sure where exactly to get one. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 A motorcycle wrecking yard is a darn good place to start. If you can't get the key with it, I think you can get one made for it at a locksmiths anyway. (but its worth checking first) Most new sportbikes use a chromed gas door that would look sweet on any Z... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I saved this info I seen one time on zcar.com from a thread on finding a locking gas cap for a 240/280.
