Looking to buy two of the NASCO locking petrol caps please.

I need one for Grace's ute, and the other for my EK wagon.

I have one on the wagon, but foolishly managed to drop it. The little swing-aside cover snapped off . It attaches by a small alloy lug cast as part of the cover. I don't reckon there is enough meat in the cover to replace the lug with a roll pin (or similar). As it gets moved around a bit, I reckon glue won't work either. I can blutack the little cover on, but it won't last long (not the way the wagon is likely to be driven ).

Happy to pay for both the caps and postage.

Cheers,
Harv

Those things are tough I just had to drill the lock out on one to get it off the 2 door - what a mission !!!!

I've always wondered how you get one off without the key. Running a hot drillbit in the neck of a fuel tank sounds like an interesting process

Do you still have the body of the lock, or is it stuffed?

I've got a good set of lock internals, just the little swing door snapped off. Wonder if I could transplant the good internals into the cover with the swing door?

Harv,

It sounds like there were two different kinds of locking fuel cap for 48-EK Holdens. I'd always thought the original type of locking cap (key goes in radially, rather than axially) was carried all the way through to the EK.
I have two. One's keyed for my black car (no, you're not getting that one), and I got a second at a swap meet to see how you get the lock barrel out. But the alloy's quite badly corroded.
I'll ask at a humpy club meeting . . .

Managed to get hold of a locking cap from D-man (with thanks), which has made Number 1 Daughter even prouder of her ute.

Still looking for another one for my wagon if anyone has one please.

Cheers,
Harv

Hi Harv
I have one here in WA I think it has the door but no key and it would probably need a rechrome from memory.
PM me mate if you are interested and I will dig it out.

There is one on eBay at the moment - looks a bit rough but comes with a key

my one went in the bin a couple of weeks ago Harv ....

i think i have one but no key i'll have a look tomorrow
there's one on the chop top with a key but it doesn't leak so scared to change it to a stock one that might leak

Thanks gents - appreciated. Have sent Neil a PM. If you find your one Mick please let me know.

Cheers,
Harv

No worries - thanks Mick. I'll keep hunting.

Cheers,
Harv
