Need a fuel filler cap for a Bavaria 36 - any ideas?

[Jungle Jim]

In one of those Laurel and Hardy moments I removed the fuel filler cap (the retaining chain is broken) and put it carefully on the deck behind me. Having finished fuelling I stepped back off the cockpit seat straight onto the cap, which like a champion tiddlywink shot out from under my shoe, up and over the seat and straight into the oggin to sink like a stone. :disgust:

I need to replace the cap but all I can find is complete replacement fittings, as it's not my boat I don't want to have to go that route. Anyone know if I can get the correct item? The local chandlers (Swanwick) have something that needs a winch handle but the skipper is not keen on that so looking for the original part if possible.

Cheers - wouldn't have occurred to me that you could buy just the caps, though I suppose it's logical. ASAP actually have quite a range: http://www.asap-supplies.com/search/filler+cap

Even though I haven't lost any, I might just buy a red and a blue one for fuel and water. All my fillers are next to each other, together with a disused one that would empty straight into the locker, so a mistake is all too possible.

The ASAP one could be it - but there are two different diameters in that style and the Bavaria one is the smaller.

Thank you, that's the one. The skipper has popped in to measure the water one which is about 35mm, so I think that's a Plastimo 1 and 3/8 inch one (Google is my friend!)

I'll phone round tomorrow and see what I can pick up.

I believe the fuel one may be 45mm. See http://www.uchimata-shop.fr/accessoires-de-pont/4768-bouchon-de-nable-carburant.html

Sorted, but what a faff. The off-the-shelf ebay type are the wrong thread, however a nice lady at Bainbridge Marine worked out what the right one was, but they won't deal with the public. Force 4 at Swanwick pulled all the stops out and ordered one for me poste-haste, now fitted. Unfortunately I can't lay hands on the bit of paper with the part number scribbled on it so can't confirm it, but for anyone in a similar pickle ring Bainbridge at Hedge End.

edit: Found it

picture is wrong but the part number P26331 is correct.
