Anyone have an extra '79 Special gas cap laying around?
The innards on mine have suffered the ravages of sitting for 15 years capping a 3/4full tank without being opened. The lock and latch are ok, but the round metal part the seal goes around is about to start crumbling away. Pretty much FUBAR.
Looking at it, seems like the three screws would allow that part to come off. Can't take mine apart before I attempt the salvage, due to the rust and rot.
I am hoping to save the outer chrome, because it has an original dealer emblem on it.
So even if I can find a beater, as long as the inside is servicable, I think I can manage to repair it.
