    Locking Gas Cap

    I bought the lockable type gas cap as shown in the first picture about 20 years ago. The cap is good and does the job, but I always felt that it looked rather tacky and aftermarket.
    I was hoping that after all these years, Scott Drake or someone would have offered the same type of cap, but made it looked more like the second picture. The emblem on the cap could swivel and hide the key. Does anyone know of any?
    I know that you can purchase the spring bolt lock thing, but I don't want to be unlocking the trunk every time I fill up at the pump.

    If Scott Drake ever makes one, you can count on not being able to remove the cap on your first road trip where you are 1,000 miles from home and nearly out of gas, if the cap even fits in the first place.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Yeah... I know Scott Drake is a bit of a swear word these days, but I'm hopeful Holley Ownership will redeem the brand.
