Hot Rods Flip top gas caps

Does anyone still make these caps? I saw some 3 1/2 inch diameter ones a while ago but Don,t remember where.Stole this pick from the HAMB hope that,s ok

 

Crafty B makes one. HRP

eBay has a bunch...

 

70s Honda cycles

 

$599 at Moal . Plenty of Cobra / Le Mans flip up gas caps on E-Bay and elsewhere including Speedway Motors.

 

That's not a gas cap - that's a work of art!

Speedway sells a large and a small "cobra style"

 

Their small for $69.95 is the same one I posted for $29.50

 

many of the small ones are from boats, still available. Crafty-b makes many sizes and styles.

Don't buy the cheap ones made of die cast aluminum... they break and/or fall apart easily and often.

Thehotrodcompany (owned by sidevalve on the HAMB ) carries the best Stainless steel version manufactured by Seadog at a very reasonable price!

For the crossbar versions I would look at craftyb caps!

 

I tried to contact Crafty B via his website but keep getting a message saying message not delivered? Is he still making these?

 

I've got one going on my Falcon. Even scored the key!

 

Search Halibrand gas caps and you will find outkastaluminum.
I believe that he is in Kentucky. He makes a very nice gas cap.
I bought one for my RPU.

 

Gary I can get them from crafty

Here are some pictures including the black one he did for me.

Almost any junkyard Triumph car.

 

Just a FYI. They are illegal on any track and a number of states. They flip open and spill gas in an accident. I machined mine so a traditional cap fits underneath the flip.

 

Been using this exact cap for over 20 years.

 

A small padlock will solve that problem.

 

Keeps the tweekers and hippies from stealing your gas too.

 

I have purchased off both Crafty-b and Outkastaluminum both nice but the Outkast has a higher grade finish and was exactly what I ordered. Crafty-b had several heavy scratches in the polished areas and was not supplied as ordered.

 

I ordered one from Outkast Aluminum (Robert) last year and I am VERY happy with his product. He is an honest guy, good communication and quite a craftsman.

Here's a thread I did about his cap(s)

Also, here is his latest listing in the classifieds:

He'll finish the cap any way you prefer - satin, polished, powder coated.

 

Those are like fine art.
But I'd have to buy two, one for the car and one to display on the coffee table.

 

How about one from Dodge Challenger or Charger.

 

Anything Mopar will cost you... and if I pay that much I wouldn't have enough money to finish the car!

 

Just got mine from Crafty B http://crafty-b.com/collections/all REALLY a true work of art !!!

 

Being in the British car restoration business, that's the first thing I thought of. Unlikely to find any in a junkyard though. A TR-6 will have 2 different styles, depending on early or late production , a Spitfire has a cool one, "original" style Mini Coopers will often be seen with cool aftermarket accessory "cobra" style flip caps, which can still be bought new (even a style with an original style cap under it). Lots of choices from British stuff, original or aftermarket.
