lost my water tank cap

[Swingking]

while towing my 69 AS LY the metal cap from the water tank inlet in front of the unit fell off.

I have no idea where to get another one or even how to get one fabracated.

help.

On another thread, user "Richard" lost the water cap to his '68 Caravel and ultimately got another through salvage from another trailer. Your best bet is probably to find another 60's trailer being "parted out" or try an A/S salvage lot.

We found one on ebay that was in better shape than our original and bought it. Don't know what yours looked like, as they vary from year to year...but if you have a picture, we can compare notes and maybe our old one would work for you. Maxwell is in storage right now, so I can't get any pics or dimensions, I'll have to search through my computer to see if I can find a pic...if you happen to have one of yours, let me know via a PM.

SK,

If I remember right, last time I saw your Overlander, that cap was a screw on aluminum cap, not a barrel plug like on Shari's pic.

I know I am of no help here but aren't they supposed to be attached with a chain so you don't lose them?

Here's mine. I think this is what Swingking was talking about.

Oh well...just thought I'd give it a shot...good luck in your search ~

out of the ka-jillion photos I have taken I don't have a picture of the cap. Chas is right. it's a screw on type just like rluhr's. thanks for the offer!

where can I find a list of Airstream salvage yards to call?

I tried googling but didn't have much luck.

thanks!!
