Sport 1100 fuel filler cap
« on: July 13, 2021, 12:26:58 PM »
Hi Guys, does anyone know where I can get a replacement filler cap or key and barrel. The key in mine keeps sticking and is very difficult to remove, I'm afraid it might get stuck permanently at some inconvenient time, I'm in the UK.

I've got a Magni based Sporti, so I'm not sure if it's the same. Does yours look like this?



If so I sent the images to Oberon and they sent me an equivalent replacement



Oberon are in the UK, sure there will be other alternatives out there. The hard bit is identifying them

Not sure if that's any use

Thanks Jock, not quite the same, I've just emailed Oberon, so hopefully they might have something.
Much appreciated

Have you tried graphite? Worked for me on my Audace.

Managed to get it working today. Dipped the key in copper grease, then used it in the lock a few times, now working perfectly. Used tiny amount of fuel resistant grease on the key afterwards to make sure its stays lubed. Thanks all for taking the time to read and reply.
