Locking fuel caps cessna 172L

I am based in the UK and have had fuel stolen three times this year. Does anyone know if locking fuel caps & drains are available for a cessna 172L.

Re: Locking fuel caps cessna 172L

Have you had any luck finding a locking cap for your 172?
I have had the same problems with fuel theft.
I have devised a system that screws to the aircraft and secures the fuel caps from being removed. The lock ass.is removed before flight leaving only clips on the aircraft. So far no one has cut them off. If you still have the problem EMAIL me an I will find decribe them to you or send plans. NC.

I am very interested as owner of a Cessna 172 L in a locking fuel cap modification. Could you describe the way to proceed with.

Thank you in advance and best regards from Switzerland

Using a Stant 10582, seems to fit our 172L pretty well, we add some electric tape over the key hole as further precaution. Not approved for flight, reinstall Cessna ones.
