I have TWO engraved / polished spare caps and I think I also have TWO spare cap latch assemblies. I know mine are going to need replaced soon.

Van's is still using the same caps so we still need to find out where Usher moved to get additional parts. Maybe Joe can find out where they went.

I built the die cast mold for these caps many years ago. Usher might not be doing the castings anymore, but here is their new contact info.. I have considered making some latches from 7075 Al. or some bronze, but have never got around to it...

Paul,

If you're AOG, I have 4 new in box standard fuel caps (for my HRII project) that I won't be using for quite a while. You're certainly welcome to one of them.
