Team,
In this age of $4 a gallon Av gas, I've decided it is probably a good idea
to install a locking gas cap on N245E. I ordered a locking SPRL cap from
Spruce, since it appeared to be the same as what was shipped with my kit, but
it
appears that the manufacturer has changed the design slightly since I took
delivery of my kit in 2002. The old flange won't work with the new style cap.
Short of major surgery to install a new flange, I don't see a way to get a
locking cap now that the design has changed.
Anybody know where I can get an old style locking cap? I tried Europa 2004
and they didn't respond to my e-mail. I also tried the SPRL factory website,
but I don't see the type used on the Europa (old or new). Spruce's customer
service wasn't any help, either.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards,
John Lawton
