VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 1934/5 accessory locking gas cap disassembly

does anyone know how to disassemble the accessory locking gas cap for 34/5 Chevrolet to re-chrome it?

from what I could see on a similar one on ebay, your going to have to drill out the rivet in the underside center and once that's done it may come apart. You might have to also drill out the 2 studs on either side ?

But thinking logically, the center rivet once drilled out should allow the lock and underside to come apart from the chromed top.

just my 2 cents earl.....
