Hello Hal. I did get the caps today and they look great. Went rite out and took the rag (fuse) out of the gas filler pipe Will send pymt tomorrow. as I got a monety order drawn on the bank of Ugoslavia. I've been watching Mustang caps on ebait and am going to score one. They go for as low as 99 cents. The cap will twist and flip to the side like a pop open cap. #1 son will not be able to leave it laying
somewhere now Kids, they weren' my idea. Paul

Paul,
That could probably be done. I've only lost the use of
a locking cap since I've owned my 74 and that was due
to some A** snapping off the Gremlin and taking it. I
have another but it is ONLY FOR SHOW.
Have you gotten the caps yet?
Hal
