Sorry - I can't help you - sure wish I could, though (congrats on
repairing the fuel lines!)

If yours is a locking gas cap that (previously) requires the ignition
key, when I bought my Westy, the PO gave the sagely advice to leave the
keys in the gas cap! This way you won't get in the car and leave the cap
behind after filling up.

Advice too late, I know.... but maybe for others reading.
