Are there, to the best knowledge of the list, gas caps available for the Syncro which are not locking types? >> Jon, I have found that disassembling the lock, cleaning all the bits and pieces thoroughly, then giving it a spritz of LPS-1 upon assembly will keep it functioning quite well. Giving it a shot of the LPS-1 every so often does no harm. I bought a Syncro which came with a generic non-locking cap. The cap was a hinky looking, utilitarian thing not meant to be seen by human eyes but, it served the purpose without fault. You should be able to find one that works by perusing the dimensions charts in a gas cap manufacturer's product catalogue. Rich |
