The metal keys are not all the same, by any stretch. You need to take the cap to a locksmith or send it to the list locksmith. My local lock shop keeps a copy of every Westy tank key they have made over the years. When a customer comes in for a missing key, they try all the different ones they have first. Often they have it, if not they take the lock apart and make a key to fit, adding that key to the collection. mark Shawn Wright wrote: >I'm still looking for a key to the water tank cap on my '82 Westy.
