Need a source for Champ 7GC fuel caps

[CMckissick]

Hello, I need to find a source to purchase 2 of the "1-8768" fuel caps for my 1960 Champion 7GC- SkyTrac Greenhouse aircraft. It's running fine and the Wings should be on in the next week or two so nearly ready for some ground work. Thanks for any leads you can share!!!

Um - Spruce sells two Aeronca caps - one vented, the other not vented. Last time I bought one of each they were sixteen bucks!

They seem to fit any standard gas tank, including all the Champs. I drill the un-vented ones and solder snorkels on them for J3 wing tanks. Better than NAPA; way better than the $100 variety.

Nope - they no longer have them. You can find the equivalent, but they are shiny, domed, and do not look like the original. They come in vented and non-vented:
