posting a picture of your cap may help. Never heard of a "metal double locking gas cap".

Why does it have to be double locking and not a standard vented cap?

A Stant 10646 fits the pre- '89 tanks and is 1-3/8" on the neck. They do not have the extended ears and I don't know if the cam depth is correct. But for about 8.00 you could try one. Most auto parts stores either have, or can get them overnight.

They only used those caps like yours for 3 years on HD.

Good call on the Stant! I didn't even think of the tabs being needed due to it being recessed. Several others in the 1 3/8 line that may work as well.
