Default Lemans style filler cap / diameter

Just wondering if anyone would know if there is a diameter difference between the original 69 gas and the lockable ones available?

Have a Lemans style cap but the diameter of the original 69 twist off is too large

I have a Le Mans style cap from Mustalgia on my car. I also have a locking gas cap and it "just fits" through the hole.

Hey Big Block 69

Not too sure from where mine originated from!

Did you ever try the older unlockable one?



Picked mine up on fleabay for 85 bucks! (ya get what ya pay for!)

Plenty of extra metal that could be removed for fitment.

would anyone know the diameter of the lockable gas caps?
