  • bolt missing?

    Gas cap lanyard bolt size or part number for the bolt that holds the cap and lanyard to the body? Mine is missing. Bird is an 04.

    There are 3 holding the fuel filler flange, one of which the lanyard is bolted to. They are probably the same size as the unpainted ones the fuel filler door closes upon. I couldn't see the 3 at the flange, but the ones the door closes upon are marked "4". You could probably unscrew one of those to find the size. If all three bolts are there attaching the filler flange, you're already set.

      Take one of the three off and take it to Lowes where you can check the size. I would guess it is a metric size.

        Well nothing is ever easy Found the right bolt/screw and guess what the hole it fits in is stripped out. Oh well, it ain't nothing but something to do

          Replacement gas caps I've viewed online use plastic push connectors to hold everything in place.
          As an illustrative example,

          Maybe Lowes (etc) might have one that will fit the tether end.
