Gents-

I found this on this site. I tried PM the poster a few weeks a go, but no reply.
Does any know where I can buy something like this? I've been searching, but nothing.

Pictured above is one by AMP Research....

http://www.amp-research.com/

I have one similar from AMP Research and it was for "M" class Mercedes around year 2000...

It was expensive in 2001 when I did my buggy it was $147 ....

Don't see that particular door on AMP site now... All they seem to have is one for Jeep...

You can get cheaper ones everywhere, FLAPS, E=bray, etc... Most are dress-up accessories, many variation out there, best types seem to be for PU Trucks..

Make Google inquirery for " gas door" or "gas flaps"...

Try this link and chase it from there ( its visual search instead of text search)...

http://lmgtfy.com/?t=i&q=gas+door

This one is pretty close but has funky magnetic latch...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BULLY-BILLET-CHROME-ALUMI...mp;vxp=mtr

Magnetic catch is from kitchen cabinet and it failed with one on my race car (not car hood pictured above) and half way through auto-x run it would flip open.... Duct Tape to the rescue... I would avoid any one that uses magnetic catch...

I ended up getting one online. Actually goes on a Dodge Ram truck side cover.
I just cut the fiberglass out and screwed it in. Easy. Has a magnetic spring release to open and close.
