Petrol cap swap - can I change the locks

[phil the greek]

The petrol cap and surround on my 97 sprint sport is rather scabby and unappealing (my wife says "A bit like you then!") - if I find another, does anyone know what's involved in swapping the locks over so i can still use one key for ignition/fuel cap/seat?

are there any nice aftermarket bling ones available?

this is the 5 bolt cap not the 6 bolt cap found on later Sprints

MOT is as eveerr correct, lots of little bits but it took me about 1/2 hours, just have a work bench clear and slowly undo the bolts there should be 4 springs, and some other washers, then transfer lock to new cap. Simple....

I can see a powerful arguement here for just putting a second Triumph key on my keyring!
