So, one of the reasons I got a deal on this scooter was because the owner wasn't sure how to go about getting a gas cap for his italjet.

I made one out of an old Bertoli lid, plastic bottle cap, inner tube rubber and some hardware.

That's creative! And extra points for keeping it Italian.

Nice thinking, reminds me of something or someone, but can't put my finger on it. Way to go!

here's the cap from when I was first trying it for fit. I took it apart once I got the height about right and put it together with a piece of inner tube rubber.

I'm looking into converting a locking car cap. I'll prolly un-McGyver that project.
