Lock for gas filler tube under cap for 69 charger from laysons

[lukedukem]

not sure where to post this but the lock for the gas filler tube broke, this sum bitch never worked right either. i cant remember when i bought it but has anyone else had this issue
cant recall who i bought it from either, maybe rick something?, anyone have a good source on these, ones that don't break.
btw it broke off in the filler tube, when i was trying to get it out, i had to carefully pull and the pieces out and try not to drop any inside the tube.

I bought two of these. I found the other one I bought and it too doesn't work right. You can put it in the hole and turn it to lock it, but then you can take anything and unluck it. I used my house key. Wtf, are the chances I can get this resolved. We will find out tomorrow I guess. I will call and see what happens

Im guessing these are repos? If you really need one I would buy an original one. Some repo stuff just is not worth fooling around with. Ihave gone through 3 rear marker lights on my 68, the casting always break at the tabs.

Your right, repo.

they said they won't work with me. Cause I bought them 4 years ago, I get it. It was awhile back. But the one I just opened, not working. That's BS, I guess I should've tested it from day one. Then I would've found out neither of these worked correctly. I will never buy from them again. I don't expect a refund or any of that. But they flat out said they will not do anything, I am offering to mail it to him so he can see for himself that it never worked from day one, but doubt that will work. Good luck to everyone else.
I burned myself on this one, but just a lesson to everyone else, check your shit out when you get it in, no matter what it is. Letting it sit till your restoration is done just to find out it doesn't work won't help with getting help.
I don't care if this gets deleted.

Try lubricating the mechanism itself with graphite....

I tried. Still won't lock. Allows for any key or flat head to unlock it. I haven't received a reply about shipping it to them so they can look at it. $&@! em
AMD took back a front fender a year after being ordered and never used.

I know nothing about the reproductions, but I'll throw this out there.

Years ago I bought a NOS inner locking cap for my T/A & it could be opened with anything too, it would not lock.

Then on a visit to PA, a lady pal with another T/A mentioned that her original cap was the same way.

So, I got curious & took hers apart.

Inside was a part that could be installed backwards, but I do not remember exactly what it was. I flipped it around & it worked after that.

I went home & tried it on the NOS one I had & that fixed it as well.

Thanks, ill try that and see.

I'm getting my 68 back together. I just bought a new gloss filler tube from Vans at Carlisle.

Isn't there a non locking cap we can put under the flip top ?

I don't think so. Why not get one that locks.
