gezz thats nice! you lost the wifes petrol cap & don't want to buy her a new one :D. You could buy one of those orange plastic emergency caps for $2.00 ;D Just about any auto parts store would have the aftermarket lockable caps. Just make sure it's the one that vents through the cap. If you want (or more importantly if the missus wants) an original type I'm sure Slim would have one. Cheers Glenn P/S You better get one soon or you could end up in the dog house.

The card listed it as a fit for a range of Holden models.
It has a semi-domed top with a ribbed(?) edge. Cost all of $10 if memory serves. Title: Re: petrol cap options Post by: surferboy on February 28, 2005, 01:18:35 PM $10.00 !!!
