The internals of the Elise S1 petrol cap are manufactured by Stant. It's also used by Jeep, from whom you're more likely to be able to readily obtain it.
On-line sources include Rock Auto in America. The part number that you need to order is 10501, delivery should be expected in about 1 week. You may also be able to get it from a UK Jeep dealer - please add your sources here if successful.

"Best way I found was to prise the metal ring out, then vandalise all the white placcy bits which came out pretty easily. All you're left with then is the black placcy part. I ran a small screwdriver round the edge, then got hold of it with some pliers and tried to 'roll' it up. A bit of this and it popped out.
Fitting the new one I used 2 minute epoxy (time's money!) Left overnight it now works as it says it should in the manual - result.
Couple of other points, prolly stating the bleedin obvious but; Don't forget to switch the keys over on yer keyring! Don't be tempted to 'try' it in-situ before fixing. It does fit and is a bugger to get out if you're daft enough to 'try' it first. Of course I didn't do that! ;>)"
