WTB: oil cap

OK, this one sounds kind of silly... but my 300D had a plastic oil filler cap. I have learned that the gaskets on these caps and perhaps the overall design) doesn not allow as good of a seal, and so oil splatter can escape out of the filler hole.
As fastlane only sells the plastic ones (and Ive already tried one of them with no luck), I would like to get one of the old metal caps from someone who might have one from an old engine. As I understand it they use a wider gasket, and plus, will give my engine the more original look...

The fastlane fuel caps are metal, but the oil caps are plastic. So if someone has a metal cap froma dead engine that is just sitting and rusting, Ill take it off your hands

PM me to let me know how much you want for it.
Thanks
