Fuel fill cap for 1987 E34-2. Need a source.

My '88 boat had a fuel fill cap with a cast-in depression for a (short) winch handle stud. Worked OK, and obviated the need for a special opener tool.

Deck fill cap for '80's Ericson

Yes. Open it to fill and chain broke. I used a water fill cap for temp security of fuel and stuck a plug in the water fill.My '88 boat had a fuel fill cap with a cast-in depression for a (short) winch handle stud. Worked OK, and obviated the need for a special opener tool.
