Gas cap prices is where I drew the line and refused to pay $700 for one beat up cap. Currently I have the $90 pair on my 48 but have managed to pick up the odd one here and there for significantly less but it took 3 years to get 3 caps. Just bought one yesterday to make it 3, I need 3 more.
As for the headlight I have oem chrome ones but wanted black and rather than risk ruining the script on the housing by stripping the chrome I bought a repop light and transferred the oem parts to the gutted black housing. Everything fit perfectly and to be honest I dont know how one could tell its not all oem, it would be interesting to see if an AMCA judge could tell.

I was fortunate to snag this really nice set of tanks years back and it included the Eaton gas caps! I think I only paid $600 for the whole shootin' match. Man, how things have changed in recent years.

A friend of mine said when the caps started leaking they would just throw them out and buy something fancy in its place and must've thrown out enough of them to fill a wheel barrow. ugh
