After visiting a local FLAPS this weekend and convincing him that I wasn't going to drive off if he allowed me to test a few of the generic ones on the Van, I found a Ford cap that fit pretty well.  Not to mention that it cast me a whopping $4, instead of $20 + shipping from Ken or Ron.  Not to mention $40 from the dealer.

Funny thing is, yesterday, I went down to Charlottesville (150 miles) and got some of the best mileage I have ever gotten (23 MPG).  Maybe my wife losing that old cap wasn't a bad thing after all.

BTW, thanks to Matthew, Chris, and Gary whao all offered their assistance.
