Dauley, there's a marine salvage store near me that has all sorts of older pieces of hardware etc. Post a pic of what you're looking for and I'll go see what they have.

The older ones mostly had three screws and the later ones four. They have both types.

You need to fasten a brass chain inside your New gas-cap with machine screw tapped in the
cap's inside center & a spring-V shaped stiff wire locked in your gas tank's fill pipe to prevent a future cap loss !
Most gas fill deck fittings were built like this, or similar when first new !

My MAGNUM'S all had flip up gas fills but were mounted on side decks, to bad these were on the centerline of the deck. "HIGH LIFE"
