Deck Fill Gas Cap

[camomanbg]

Does anyone in the Rochester area know where I could find a deck fill gas cap like this one? I just need the screw in part....yeah, it got left on the gunwale at the gas station and fell off somewhere down the road I guess I should have screwed the keeper chain back down a long time ago, but I didn't.

I bought a spare just because.

Thanks! I got one at West Marine last night but the threads don't match.....you'd think that would be universal

FYI...I had to replace the whole deck fill since the threads from 1978 wouldn't match anything they currently sell on the market.

Wow - who'a thunk it. I would have thought if you got the right size the threads would match. I borrowed thread gauges from my work to check mine out and ordered what matched.

It was a quick fix and only about $15 more than the cap itself. 3 screws, a pair of hose clamps, and a ground wire and it was replaced. It makes it easy when you can just simply remove a panel off the inside wall and get at the fill hose clamps. 10min job
