Reply to "External fuel filler mod"

I decided to make a second test cut on my other fiberglass panel I made… I would like to have a little less gap between the panel and the filler cap base..

the first time I used a 3” hole saw because I thought the filler cap itself is 3” and the panel get mounted after the cap assembly is installed… the cap base is 2 1/2” so I got 1/4” gap around the base! Just didn’t feel right…

now with the cutouts for the hinge and the little locking mechanism I actually could get the 3” cap though a 2 3/4” hole, leaving me with only 1/8” gap around the base! I’m good with that!

local stores didn’t have a 2 3/4 hole saw so I ordered one.. coming Saturday!

I'm also thinking about moving the cap down one rib.. still higher then center of the panel… looks better but higher location would fill better… decisions, decisions, decisions,…🤔🤪

( and that’s why I made a mold to make some panels to be able to f@$& up)
