    Where was this reflector mounted on the street (driver) side of a 69 or 70 CJ5 with the reflectors? I have seen it before but can't seem to locate an image. Thanks.

    That fuel cap matches the one I have on my 70. I like the design and I need to replace it. Do you know where you got it?

    Mark, Does the fuel cap your looking for have a recessed or the raised center (the roughly dime-sized center of the cap)? I can’t really tell which version is on Dale’s beautiful Jeep in the photo.

    Thats the AC type cap. Correct for CJs at least up to the late ‘60s, and used all the way back to WW2. Eaton and a few other manufacturers have made the same cap. There are a bunch of generic repops of the cap too.

    That is the exact cap I have. Mine is scaly, rusty on the inside and not usable. I'll check around for a source. Thanks!!
