Am I reading that right? $200.00 A???
I don't know the exchange rates, but that still sounds unreasonable. I'll be happy to pick up one at the junkyard and send at cost, but that prolly isn't fast enough for you.

Was able to get this down to $170 =us$130. This is for a genuine Ford locking cap,no aftermarket caps to suit explorer. Might modify a neck from a common local vehicle ( locking caps for these cost about $a20)

I bought a nice speed cap for mine... I dont have to unscrew anything, just drop the nozzle in, and pull it out when finished (easy guys! :nono: ) and that was probably less than $30.0 :us:
