Gentlemen, I’ve had it with the Drake style locking caps which I inherited with my ‘36 Phaeton and ‘38 Station Wagon; would greatly appreciated being pointed (or led by the nose) to either OEM or good reproduction replacements without the annoying lock. Thank you !!!

Drake also made a very nice reproduction of the original cap without a lock. It is vented.

I think he only has the reproduction caps. I talked to him recently about a nos cap and he indicated he was out of NOS.

I think that Michael carries the Vintique gas caps which are either vented or non-vented, buyer's choice. Appearance-wise it is a very good reproduction.
