locking petrol cap

<< < (3/3)

AshimotoK0:
If you find the A/F size of the Hex can't you modify a driver like in this link or a 1/4" drive socket. I would chop off the head and cut a slot in one end and braze part of and old key to it. May need the O.D machining down though. Bit of a faff but just a suggestion of what I would do.
If you did do it and it needs lathe or brazing just send me the bits and I will do it for you. You could even use an old Honda key for the handle, which would make it rather cool.

I'm sure a decent clock restorer would be able to help, at a push being able to make you one but may be cheaper to just buy a new lock if not.

Same here!

Hey ,
thanks you guys, what a lovely bunch you all are, very kind and helpful.
I really appreciate your comments, I will probably machine down a hex socket and tack a washer on the end .
Thanks again for taking the effort to help.
Cheers.
Steve.
