LM2 Fuel Cap

The spring steel catch has snapped on my LM2 fuel cap, so looking for a replacement

Just the spring? I’ve just retrieved a functional (non locking) fuel cap from my “pile of bits” - I needed to pinch the viton seal from it, until eBay delivers. Photo to follow (if needed) - let me know if you need the whole cap, but I do hope that you find a suitable spring (o;

Mr P, similar break to mine, Gutsibits don’t have one anymore, so it seems that you got the last - grr.
