Subject:Re: Locking Gas Cap

Just FYI on the gas caps.  For any of you with a
Yakima rack with locks, the Yakima keys are a perfect
fit for the locking caps.  Just take apart the lock
mechanism on the gas cap and grind down the pins with
the Yakima key inserted.  Fifteen minute job.  Now my
cargo box, tower locks, and gas cap are all keyed the
same.  3 keys into 1.

Now I'm looking to have a locksmith rekey my water
fill to match the Yakima key.  I can feel my pocket
getting lighter already (in multiple ways).
