I have the Optimill one in black, the quality is superb as expected, and far, far better value than the other alternatives.

Totally agree with this. I bought mine direct from the Optimill chaps at a show. Good item, good guys and to my mind a fair price.

I do think that is OTT for the price, I'd say £200 would be more sensible and even then pricey.

At such a high value you knwwho will be after lifting it. Rolling Eyes

You could use a Defendoor though I suppose but is only a visual hiding item. TheThunder Rolls🇬🇧🇺🇸

Another thumbs up for the Optimill one. I've got a Santorini Black Defender with the Silver Fuel Cap. It looks great. I bought it from them at one of the shows £60 0r £65 as far as I remember.

The only small issue is that it doesn't have a tether. I unfortunately dropped my new fuel cap on the forecourt floor when refuelling and put some scratches on the face of the cap. However the very nice people at Optimill did replace it for me.

+1 Thumbs Up from me for Optimill, though mine is black, but saw the silver at the Stoneleigh show and looked great but just not for my truck colour Rob

Does the optimill one come with a lock or do you use your old lock? Ray

The optimill cap comes as a complete locking petrol cap with two keys.

I have a keyport slide key holder so I would need to send the new key off to America to be adjusted and trimmed to fit my slide which is a pain and expensive. Ray
