Need fuel vent through-hull screen/cover

[garbageguy]

Anyone know where I can find replacement screw-on fuel vent screens? I have a 1998 Wellcraft 240 SE, and the PO must've gotten pretty close to a lot of things, tore up some of these vent screens.

Any luck with this question? I have the same issue for my 1998 Aquasport 175. Lost the plastic vent cover and it is not clear at all where to find a replacement.

Yes, I checked there - was hoping to just find a cap rather than needing to replace the entire vent.
Maybe this is a lost cause... seems strange though - I would expect that the cap should be easily found.
My fitting is nylon/plastic. I figured this must be a standard size... looks like 5/8"
I guess I can just make something out of a threaded PVC pipe cap if I need to.

if your current fitting is plastic, they are around $5. why on earth would someone make something when the right part is so cheap.
