Sorry, David, I don't have a cap ... but ... What I'm about to say may
help after you get a replacement.

My '84 and my '85 have the gas caps that use a smaller "Gas" key (not
the ignition key).  I keep it on the ignition key ring.  When I unlock
the cap I insert the ignition key into the passenger door handle which
leaves the gas cap hanging right there next to the filler.  Hard to lose
the cap ... hard to lose the keys.
