    Default Lockable fuel cap.

    Does anyone know if Holden or an after market company make a lockable fuel cap for the VT series of Holdens?

    CPC do (they make the caps. thermostats and radiator caps for Holden). They should be available at any decent car parts place of from GMH themselves.

    Go to local car auto shop retailer, i.e SuperCheap Auto, Autobarn, Repco they have them
    It's worth as much as someone is willing to pay!

    i would not call the flap a lock at all i use to live in a bad area and at least every week i would leave for work and find the flap open so i tryed to open it with a screw driver myself toooooo EZ and no damage ether so i think my lock cap saved me heaps

    The 'lockable' flap will NOT prevent anyone from stealing petrol from your vehicle. Good advice to install a locking petrol cap. Just make sure that if you get one, when installing it, make sure you rotate it several times (clicking sound) to ensure it is securely attached otherwise it can work loose and the car fill with petrol fumes.

    There have been police asking if people in our street if they have noticed anyone interferring with cars. Fuel syphed off apparently and door handles tried. Hense my reasons for asking about them.
