Org locking gas cap 70 Challenger. My question is what color should it have on the cast section? bare metal or............
The ones I've seen pics of seems to have a gold color on the cast section.
So a pic on a restored or NOS one would help.
Is the rubber grommet(seals cap to the filler tube) available?
thanks Peter

Yes, thats what I call a gold color, over here it's hard to do that kind of plating. I mix some paint similar to org plating color, and then rub the paint down so it looks ok. Have the original rubber, gonna make some rubber gasket to put under the old grommet to make it tighter to the tube. Some day a new rubber grommet will be avaible? Thanks for the help.

What about all the IKEA fasteners? There has got to be a plating shop in Sweden.

You think IKEA is made in SWEDEN. Most of their stuff is made in Asia and shipped around the world. Plating and chroming is harder to get done for each year, because of health issues and regulations from the gov. But I check with the few plating shops still left in Stockholm monday. Peter

Made a new key, put the gascap together. Can push it open in all positions, with or without the key. The lock don't work. Should one of the four slots in the housing be shorter in the locking position? is it a metal piece in the bottom of one of the slots or? Anyone who taken the gas cap apart should know about this.

If no one can help gp to a real lock smith. I did when I could not take the glove box door lock off and he did it in a few seconds and said come back when I needed real stuff done. Was a super nice guy I wonder if they would even have a market for then being remade {repoped} since 1 year only for the 70
