locking petrol cap

[wendilla]

A friend of mine has a mobile home but it is the oldertype .He is having difficulty getting a locking petrol cap for it .Does anyone have any ideas where he could get one made in the Midlands if possible? Thanks

I forget which company makes them, but when I used to work in a motor factors, there were ''universal'' lockable caps (I say universal, they came in a range of diameters, so find one that forms a deal).

I'm sure they came i na yellow package - not a lot of help I know. Try some local factors, or possibly Halfords

Thanks for your reply but none of the universal ones are any good. The problem is there is no ridge to screw a cap on to .We think something may have to be changed on the actual body part to get a locking cap on. The motor home is in immaculate condition and about 18 years old and they were not made so that a locking cap would fit so wondered if anyone else had come across this and what they had done to get a locking one to fit,

can you fit a non locking cap and fit a cover that locks over it?
