Ummmmmm..... those are for 74+ busses, the early outer tab large cap does show up in the classifieds ocassionally though, keep watching. Don't expect to find one at the FLAPS though, maybe the 74+ style but not the early ones.

Edit: how about this? http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D343%2D201%2D551%2DLK

If you find one get in the habit of leaving your keys in the cap when you are filling up. I left my cap on the pump with the keys in my pocket. Got distracted by another "pumpee", finished filling up, jumped in the Bus, drove off and realized my cap was still back at the station. By the time I got there it was gone.
