Fuel door

anyone know of an aftermarket fuel door? Preferably one that locks? My fuel door rusted out and the spring that holds it closed broke so it just flaps in the wind. I would really like an aftermarket locking door maybe diamond plate? I wish I had a plasma cutter I would make my own.

I've never seen any aftermarket fuel doors for an XJ. Maybe find one at the boneyard and install a lock on it. If this was a Honda Civic you find aftermarket fuel doors all day long.

Just get a locking cap. They're a lot cheaper/easier than buying/making a locking door.

I got my locking cap at... Target i think and paid $5. Only issue is it only came with 2 keys, and you can't make copies at a hardware store. Gotta call out a locksmith.
