Hello Mike from Fresno,

I’ve attached pics of 2WD vs. Syncro fuel caps which are currently available. There are other generic alternatives but these are the closest to originals. These both accept a shorter key which cannot be keyed to match your ignition/door key. Unfortunately, the Listserv will strip the photo attachments. Only you would be able to view the embedded images.

I can still get the 2WD version in South Africa but the Syncro version with a keyhole cap is NLA. Newer versions win exposed keyhole with a different (shorter) key is available from places like Bus Depot and Van Cafe.
