Hi there again,

I purchased Vans lockable fuel caps and although I don't see any issue installing it I wanted to check with the group if there is anything to be aware of when glueing in the flange.



Thanks

Michael

The installation works well.  One note though, we installed ours about 3 years/600 hours ago and now the lock has worn to the point where it doesn't engage the key well enough to always pull the cap out.  We have a spare key we never use and it doesn't work too well either, so I'm pretty sure it's the lock inside the cap that's worn.

  

We can get it out with a little jiggling and body english but it's just a matter of time until it fails.  I guess if we can't repair the lock we'll need to get new caps.
