    I have within the last year.. there was another member who posted a similar mod too.

    Those aftermarket billet goodies sell like hotcakes(especially the cheaper off-brands).. so I'm sure there may be others around here who've done it too.

    This cap is from sparco racing and soon to be discontinued. It comes in locking/non locking-not cheap. It would have been perfect if a 1/4 smaller. I might have it turned down just a bit.

    There is somebody on ebay that sells Billet gas caps with the Maverick logo for $60, but they are not locking. He also sells matching radiator caps.

    I coulda swore I just saw the radiator cap yesterday and all I can say is NEVER ON MY CAR! horrible looking in my opinion. the gas cap is nice but I love my original comet cap. I wouldnt change it for anything other than a brand new shiny one

    Yea, Love to have the original one. Don't know what happened to it. This cap looks alright and takes a key to get it off and I have the key.
