You could use one that has a little shorter float travel. It won't be completely accurate but will look the part. I have also used a cap without the gauge on it, just gotta remember to look down the hole to see if you have enough gas to get the job done.

Do a search for "Kelch fuel caps" on the bay -- there are dozens of variations there. (note" there are threaded and 'tabbed/eared types)

I just bought a new gas cap with a gauge off of the jungle site.  I saw a few with lengths between 7" and 9" so maybe the odds of you finding on there will be in your favor.  Do you have the old one still?

Did you ever happen to find anything that worked, and do you have a link or PN for what you used? I'm in the same boat now lol.

 

Thanks!
