Oil Cap Needed
Help, I am in need of an oil cap for my C-145. Don't ask...I'm just glad it was a 10 minute flight

Re: Oil Cap Needed
Been there, done that. The battery box on my '55 is right behind the oil filler, and it makes such a handy place to set the cap down. 
I had a fuel cap like this one: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/a ... elcaps.php. I painted it yellow, added some lettering to indicate oil capacity, drilled the flange to attach the safety chain that had been missing, and a year or two later it's still on the airplane!

Re: Oil Cap Needed
I got the same one a year ago:
05-01057 #2 FUEL CAP ONLY UNVNTD FC2646 $8.80
Drilled a hole for the retaining chain, and printed a label that listed "8 Qts"
