Reply to "Air craft style gas filler"

..."Ya want Aircraft Filler Caps!!?, Ya talk to ME!!" LOL, just kidding. The fact is those two photos of the Red/Orange gt-5 were taken by a Mr. Raymond Santiago;(sorry Ray, if you did not want your name mentioned) of Swansea, Ill. I know this because I am the Machinist that did the Machining in my shop, on a rotary table! To find that exact cap, go to batinc.com and download the specs on their 'areo caps' the size you are looking at is the 'areo 400'. The caps are produced in England and the company has a retail outlet in Florida. You can get them with or without the lock. Black or Polished Aluminum, and in Chrome. (I believe even in colors, I don't remember). They cost $170.(for the locking model), and then you must also purchase the hose funnel for $34. get the one for the 2.0" hose. If you wish to send your 'gill' to me for machining; I charge $200. Each plus shipping...It takes over 2 hours Just to do the set-up; and another 6 to finish the multiple operations. We know how irriplacable these gills are, they are less than .250" thin, very brittle and all but impossible to clamp down to the table, AND not leave so much as a scratch! They are one of the nicest additions to Your Pantera. Fuction perfect and come originally from the P-51 Mustang Fighter of WW11. Be forwarned that there IS a consiciderable amount of cutting,drilling and other work; to get the gill to clear and fit, back onto the car!! I have TWO on my Pantera, one on each side, the right side for the reserve tank. I have pictures posted on the 'Gallery'. Good-Luck with it!
