MG TD TF 1500 - Safety gas cap fuel tank

Has anyone found any system to securely close the tank cap ?. Around here some people have derived from envy or any other emotional sh*t towards hatred. Please I need help.

I guess that what you are looking for is a lockable cap. Never seen one on a T type, but with luck someone will have an answer.

Yes. I need a lockable cap and I prefer the original classic style

The PO of my car welded two eyelets and therefore it is lockable with a small padlock.

Sounds like a good idea. For those without welding equipment it may be possible to fabricate a couple of brackets - bonding one to the underside of the cap, and the other to the neck of the tank using JB Weld epoxy adhesive. Not as strong as welding, but maybe strong enough to deter malicious intent.

I think I can get an idea of ​​the system with two eyelets, but if I could, I would appreciate a photo to illustrate

I'm sorry - because the car is garaged in a closed workshop for some weeks I'm not able to take a photo.
