V8 lockable gas cap.
Who made this very cool V8 locking gas cap? The key and cylinder is Star brand.
I suppose it is an aftermarket item? i have not seen this type before. |

These were an after-market offering and not authorized by Ford. And, in reality, not all that rare. A friend of mine has a box full of them in various conditions.

Re: V8 lockable gas cap.
I've had two of them, [my avatar photo is of one], sold one to a guy Todd, who used to hang out on here. The other one is fitted to my 35. The V8 logo on the cap matches the 35 version on the hubcaps. Unable to answer your question about manufacturer, but agree, they are nice!!

Re: V8 lockable gas cap.
Are these caps vented or non vented underneath because a cap for a 1935 Ford V8 should be non vented.

Ian, The cap is vented, but I'm running a '36 tank.
