Buy one from Jens Hansen in germany. I have one on the way now.

Our little discussion about these:

>actually i was talking about the AERO400 fillercap.

OK. The website shows a key in the Zero400, but 
the Aero400 looks like it has a flip-out finger 
latch.

>Well the weld-in adaptor has to be welded into the body panel. Correct.

As my van's paint is original and only needs a 
shine-up, I think the bolt-in adaptor is the one.

>For our adaptor you don't have to drill holes into the panel. Our
