What is this part called...?

What's good ya'll, my gas tank has this flip top lid that covers the gas cap. I think this tank only came on the 78 cb750k. Anyhow, it's missing the key lock to that flip top lid. So when I ride, this lid rattles. Does anyone know what this piece is called? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks!
 
So the lid just has a hole where the lock would normally be? It's just a tank lid lock - not sure what the parts manual says. Should be able to pick one up on eBay - I'll have a look around my shop.

The same exact lids were used on the CB550F, late model CB550K's, the CB750F and the '77/'78 CB750K so don't search specifically for one from a '78.
 
I'll root around in my cellar. While they are 'keyed' I think any key or screwdriver for that matter can open the 'lock'.
 
I believe the proper term is a "Chummyjigger" or a "Whasitcalled"

Maybe a "'tingy"
 
Sorry Harry...I thought I had an extra piece for ya.. but I dont.. :(
 
No worries N. Man, I can't find it anywhere online. Ebay only has the locks for the flip gas caps. Anyhow, if anyone comes across one please shoot me a message. Thanks!
 
bumping this up cause tintin couldnt remember whom posted it. yes im bored so much cause of bike not working blues ::)
 
Your lid should have a spring clip that "pops" it open when you unlock it. That same spring should keep it tight and stop it from rattling when closed. Thats the set up on my 76 750F
