Hama Locking gas cap
I have already taken mine all apart, milled the rivets off and punched them out for re-chroming the top but without a key it is just a gas cap not a locking gas cap. If I can find a key even if it may not fit, the lock/key guy maybe be able to use it to make a key. Or I can just find another gas cap with a key. Either way it will still need to come apart most likely for re-chroming. Is there anyone out there that can help me out? Anyone ever take one apart for re-chroming? Need to source replacement metric aluminum rivets for the top.
Thanks in advance
Regards
John

What area do you live in, or maybe you can mail it to me and I can see what I can do.
I live in the southern maryland area.

If I uploaded correctly, here's a couple of pics of my key. (I always have to relearn attaching files here)
And maybe you'll get lucky and Kurt will have some blanks in his stash.
But David may be right; this may not be in your locksmith's wheelhouse.

Does the lock look like it could be opened up with out major damage to it? May be able to fit one with a bit of filing. Would need to see if the bump part need to be that exact length.
Need to see how the lock and key interact to make the lock turn. These are completely different that a normal house/car type key.
Again sorry.
