Does anyone one have a source for finding a gas cap similar to these that could be a "bolt-on" application for a C-3 such as my 1969?

These photos came from a website in the UK but I would rather buy from some place here in the US where I can ask them a few direct questions on proper fit and modifications.
If anyone has any ideas I would certainly appreciate the help
Thanks

There was a member of this site that was making these and the few that got them couldn't say enough good about them. Then there were a lot of members that never got them at all. If I remember right the guy making them was going through marital problems. I've been away from here for awhile so I don't know how it turned out. Try doing a search. I know there was a lot of talk about this.I wanted one and was waiting to see how it all worked out. Don't know if it ever did

Thanks for the response, I will check the posts and see if it can be tracked down, I found a similar situation with a weblink called Chrick Motorsports out of White Planes NY as they featured a great looking modified C-3 with the LeMans Filler and hd indicated that they were goingito re-sell in the US for about $250 and was listed as a "Bolt on" but they seem to have vanished as well.
Thanks again for the feedback
Jim

Steve,
 
Thank you very much for the suggested sites; I think the unit from Scott Drake maybe the better fit as size of 5.6 inches seems about perfect for the standard fuel door replacement on my C-3 and the available lock would also be a nice feature. I will send them an e-mail and see what they come back with on pricing and availability. The unit from Mooneyes seems a little too small in diameter and without the availability of a machine shop in my backyard to make up an adapter ring.
Thanks again for the great suggestions
 
Jim

Thanks for the suggested site - that one was more reasonable but with being at various shows I liked the idea of being able to lock "roaming fingers" out as that cap set-up will more than likely become an attractive thing to be played with.... Based on these concerns I placed an order for the Scott Drake unit mentioned in an earlier post, plus the diameter seems just right to fit over the existing hole once the  fuel door is removed. Now it will be a matter of getting it plumbed on to the existing tank as painlessly as possible.

Thanks again,

Jim
