Reply to "External fuel filler mod"

And now it’s destruction time…

The largest diameter on the fuel filler cap is 3 inches , and because their panel is going over there already mounted fuel filler cap start out with a nice big 3 inch hole,!

battery died… Time to take a look

filed out the recess for the closing and hinge mechanism.

and that’s how it looks!

i’ll paint black around the filler cap before assembling it.

I’m just glad I cast this markup panel!

If I would’ve done the chop on the real part, I would’ve broken out in sweat! All the holes would not have mattered because it’s all within the part that’s going to disappear anyway.. but still..

the finish work on the metal panel is going to be much easier, much nicer, because that casting here is quite brittle being fiberglass and resin!

I let this simmer right now in my brain… Thinking, maybe to go with a different way of assembling it and make the hole only 2 3/4 of an inch diameter
