I don't know if I have a record of the part number, but I looked it up again. I'm finding Velvac part number 600169-1 and 600169-6. Any brand of aluminum 4" non-vented female 8 thread per inch locking fuel cap will work. The numbers I gave above, may cross over to other brands if you do a...

I'm more concerned about fuel tampering...

Okay, aluminum Velvac key-locking non-vented fuel cap, with key hole cover to keep rain water out. $21 including shipping. ...and fortunately, there was no corrosion from the brass Sloan key-locking non-vented fuel cap, which has now joined the "spare parts" pile, unless somebody else wants it...

Ordered a Velvac non-vented ALUMINUM key-locking fuel cap. $21.25 including shipping.

Holy chit! I guess I'm looking for a locking aluminum fuel cap...

I have more experience with electrolysis than I have with galvanic corrosion. Will the tank be okay with this cap as long as I stay out of the ocean, or is this going to be a problem?

Does it hurt anything for it to turn blue on the inside?

...or paint it...

Yeah, there's any number of things I could squirt in there to keep the lock cylinder from freezing...

Are you talking about covering the three little silver-colored discs with RTV?

The $20 locking fuel cap works. Sloan part number 431006. Free shipping. And unlike the other locking fuel cap part number floating around somewhere, this one is unvented, so you don't need to swap gas caps when fording water. The ebay seller ("vinrei_30") told me he had more of them to sell...

Oshkosh Defense said that's the wrong part. The ones that I ordered come with keys. I don't know if they're going to come keyed the same, but if it's like any other vehicle door lock cylinder I've dealt with in the last 40 years, any locksmith should be able to recode one to work with the...

They gave me a small discount, so I went ahead and just ordered them. Including shipping, it's going to be roughly $400 or so for the pair. My next update on this may not be soon- this particular vendor was willing to sell to me as a private individual, but because the parts are coming from...

Once I've made a purchase to confirm their representation that they will sell to private individuals, I will share that information. Can anyone else do better on the prices for those part numbers, to private individuals?

I just got the price quote for the door handles- they are about $385 for the pair. I've asked if they can do better on the price, but I'm wondering if there are any other sources for Oshkosh parts that we should be checking. Anybody got a good vendor they wanna recommend?

I just heard back from Oshkosh Defense, regarding the key-locking exterior door handles. The part numbers are 3506900 and 3506901. At least one of those has an NSN number. They also referred me to a distributor to buy them from. I spoke to the distributor, and they're going to get back to me...

Just a quick update on the locking door handles- the Pierce parts guy has sent me a parts diagram of the Pierce Hawk Extreme. I sent him a pic of the MTVR outside door handle. He's still working to identify the left locking door handle. I'll update when new information becomes available...

The gas cap seller just messaged me that he's got more of them that he wants to sell.

I ended up going with combination padlocks- I got a small black one for the battery switch, and a much more substantial one for the OEM steering column lock. That way I could give them similar combinations, without having to carry 2 more keys. And I decided against locking the battery box- the...

So I had part of an idea- I notice that the plaque for the battery switch kind of calls attention to the fact that...it's the battery switch. So I picked up a spray can of that Plasti-Dip type stuff, and blacked it out. We still know what it is, how to use it, and how not to use it, but the...
