gas cap
« on: February 06, 2011, 12:06:14 PM »
Does any one have a spare gas cap taking up space on the extra parts shelf? I need just one. Can trade parts or cash.
Thanks for any help.

This outfit made some gas caps for an antique airplane we are restoring at work. http://www.brassauto.com/cars8.html

The caps they made for us are brass but they claim they can make them out of any material. If you send them a cap they will reproduce it. The brass caps they made for us look exactly like the copy we sent them and the turn around time was pretty quick. As I recall they were kind of spendy $125.00 a copy I think.
