Saw this on FB. Might give it a try.

Very cool looking in the recess like that.

You have to cut the recess out of the Jag donor car. Few and far between right around where I live.

It's a good looking unit if it blends in with the rest of the build on your truck.

Finally got around to trying this.

That looks great.

Those filler caps look amazing!

That's a cap from an XJ6 - any year up to 1887.

There's quite a few of them in the self-serve junkyards around here in Phoenix.

Check row52.com to check inventory where you are.

There's usually a few on ebay too.

I like the lines on the Jag better. For me, it seems to flow with the curves of the fender. I found mine locally for $25 but there are several on EBay as e015475 stated. Also like the fact that they're lockable. Although mine didn't have a key, the lock cylinder can easily be rekeyed.

There's a guy in the Carolina's named David Bogner that parts out Jags and would likely have a good selection of fuel caps. He often buys whole cars to part and I'd imagine he'd have gas caps with keys. I've talked to him a few times and always found him very helpful.

His website is called everydayxj.com

nice execution mobile!

mobileortho · 05-17-2019, 01:59 PM

Thanks for the compliments. Not to bad for a guy who can't weld!

mick53 · 05-17-2019, 04:44 PM

If there is a number on the lock you can probably order a key from Jag, or maybe a vin number.
