More on Locks - Tank Flap
« on: April 05, 2012, 09:11:59 PM »
Does anyone know of a supplier for F2 tank flap locks? I suspect all the flaps have the same locks.

Or does anyone have one spare & for sale, key not vital, I have a tame locksmith..

Cheers.

Hah!

Sorry can't help, but reminds me of the mid-80's...

The key from my Ford Escort would open the filler cap on my K3...

I think anything that fits opens them.
I need one as well if anyone comes across one. :(
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

sadly what Steve says is correct, you can open them with a yale front door key as well, they were never more than a deterrent to casual petrol thieves :o  I'll have a rummage in the shed over the weekend, I'm fairly sure I have at least one spare on an old leaky tank
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Thanks, I'm not worried about lockability (is that a word?) I don't have one at all and need something to hold the flap down, I would probably get the tumblers removed anyway so as to be sure the key for the aftermarket igniton lock will open it.
Cheers.
