Good Morning from Land's End!

Has anyone got, please, a brass petrol cap for a torpedo Atco tank that they would be willing to sell me?  Thank you.

HELP!  One gentleman very kindly replied to say he possibly had one (I am after three - not all for the same machine!!) and his e-mail has vanished.  If he reads this, could he get in touch again, please?  Would you all be very kind and have a search into the depths of your man-caves for brass caps!  I should be most grateful and thank you in advance.

Gtc - it might - I agree, but surely whomsoever looketh can do that - I only want the caps!  After all, where there is a door-scraper, there very might well be a door, according to the Mole - or was it Ratty?!

 

Now, seriously gtc!  In another place, you mention dating the machine.  My Atco has a brass plate with the ref:  (can't find the damned plate!).

The ID plate, if still present, should be positioned as highlighted below. Note that this one is already in danger of being torn off in the heat of battle:
