Help me identify this fuel cap

[kwiatkma]

OK so I need some help Identifying a fuel cap in my Long-EZ that I'm restoring. The caps either need to replaced or need to find another cap that will fit in the receptacle. They use a one piece rubber grommet that gets expanded when the lift tab is depressed. Any case the pictures tell the story better than I can...The outer ring size is 3" while the inner ring size is around 2 5/8". HELP!

Aircraft Spruce # 10450-1. I use the same one on my LongEZ. Gaskets are #10449

 

Call them. When I checked their web site, the cap # part number wasnt listed, but the gasket # looks oK.

Man you're fast waiter....on both sites! But I can't seem to find the part number you refer to in the 2008 aircraft spruce catalog or their web site.....

The number s came out of their 2001 cat. I edited my post, I can't find the cap, but they do have a gasket # still listed. Call and ask them

 

I just had the number from the web site, looks like the new number for the gasket is 05-01393.

 

OH, and I would consider attaching the chain. I did have one of these pop off once on a high speed pass. (240 kts) The cap just sat on the strake and looked like a miniature parachute, no bouncing or banging.

Thanks Waiter. I think I'm more in need of a replacement gasket than anything as the current gaskets are hard as a rock...I tried a couple tricks of softening them, but none seemed to work. You don't by any chance have a manufacture info or something like that? I'll call A/S but the more info I have the better...

 

Thanks again!
