newsoobdude Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 So the button on my gas door for my 84 Wagon is broken and I would like to replace it with a new one or a locking setup. Anyone have any ideas? I remember reading somewhere about someone having a similar issue but am not going to search 21 pages of topics to find it (meaning yes i searched but after 2 pages of nothing gave up). Thanks.

ihscout54 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I once rigged a lock for a mail box (available at the hardware store) up to make a locking fuel door. You have to be a little inventive but it works. Theres always the j-yard if all else fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NV Zeno Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Wrecking yard..that's what I did. ('83 wagon) By using the stock part, there's no hassle with fitment, and it's a good place to "practice" taking everything apart without damage. I've just kept my eye open at the yards for a key-lock version, and when I found one, it was a snap to install. To get a key made for it, I just took it to a locksmith and for (IIRC) about 8 bucks I now have 2 new keys for it. Just my 2 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
