I posted about this topic about 18 months ago. I was able to modify the Duralast A5913 locking gas cap (available at AutoZone) by grinding down the inner ring away from the locking mechanism to 1.25 inch diameter all around. It works.
You will want to remove the slotted material down to the flat surface that is the top of the cap; remove that material such that a 1.25 inch diameter exists for the center column which contains the lock, and the lock side of that column is on the outside edge of the diameter.

I may have ground too much but the lock side remains on outside diameter. Doesn't stay in the port.
I'll get another..
Could you post picture if yours?
Thanks
