if its the cam style(looks like old car gas caps, but those wont seal), then mid-60's harley. if different than that, idk. look at this half way down. these fat bob tanks have 'cam' style necks on them. is yours like that?

Is cam lock the same as bayonette style. Basically I've got a a gas cap opening that's smooth on the inside with no obstructions an has triangular extrusions on the outside. If you can imagine a 20 oz soda bottle its like that but just two elongated triangles to hold the cap on.

The wife likes this but I'm not sure it'll work:

This is the other cheap option

Do either of these work?

no neither will work.
the one i posted is the one that fits the wassell and looks like the second one you posted and is vented. it the same size as a triumph oil tank cap
