Petrol cap chain

Post by MorrisJohn »

Anyone know where I could find a chain for a petrol cap? Can’t see them when searching the usual suppliers.

Go to your nearest DIY store and get a short length from the large display they'll have?
Typically, sink plug chain.
Or about £2.50 on ebay.

No Minor 'usual supplier' is going to keep short lengths of such a common item, not worth keeping in stock.

Thanks Berni.

Same some suitable looking chain in my local The Range today, selling it as 'Clock Chain'.

You can get a whole Mtr for £2.79 :)

I think they're in La La Land saying it "can be used for anything from securing sheds, as a bike lock......" but I recon it'll work for a petrol cap :lol:
