I replaced my OEM fuel deck fill with new one last year.  
I found a stainless model that was winch handle operated, and not too pricey, 
but it was not a direct replacment.  You may do better, taking the cap to a 
metal fabricator and getting it retooled.

The one I bought was actually smaller in diameter than the OEM aluminum one.  I 
had to fill the hole in the fiberglass deck and drill to the right size, before 
installing the new fill unit.  I was reparing areas of the deck, so I had the 
material and tools to do it, plus I was painting the deck, so it became a small 
part of much larger project and turned out pretty nice.
