I had a quick question.
Do i need to modify anything to install the locking gas cap?

You shouldn't have to mod anything. It should simply replace your old cap. I'm not completely sure because ive only installed a locking gas cap on a '02, the locking mechanism was built into the cap. Gas is expensive....protect it

 

Unless you have the "pop open" cap...as stated in the description...you should be able to just swap them out.

 

Oh ok i was just making sure.
Yes it is and that is why im getting it.
I dont think anyone here in my city would actually pour sugar into someones fuel but then again anythings possible and id rather be safe than sorry.

 

I'd be more worried about theft of the gas rather than the sabotage of it. No modifications are required.

 

You are on the right track of thinking. You don't want to have to install a locking gas cap after something stupid happens. Better to prevent itrather thanstopping it from happening again.

 

I keep a locking cap on my 68 just as a deterrent against theft or sabotage of any sort. I don't think it looks as good as the OE cap but it gives me a little peace of mind. And if I want to swap in the original temporarily, its a piece of cake. As others said, no mods necessary.

FWIW, I bought that exact cap from someone off ebay, brand new for about $60 including S&H.

I understand if you want a new one but here is a used one for $47 including S&H

I bought it on yesterday. It doesnt really seem to fit.
Any ideas why it doesnt fit?
