I did go through the motions about what kind of fuel filler to build, and I wanted to get this project done within a few months… Most parts are unobtainable or were extremely expensive and building would be definitely required to weld the bucket in… My paint is perfect in that area so I did not want to go down that route…
One thing I can tell you is that the grill panel for fuel filler cap doors are different than the grill panel without fuel filler door…
Fuel filler door panels have less ribs on them so you cannot cut a hole in your non-fuel door the panel and put the door on it! It does not match the ribs. And at the same time, left and right would not match then because you have less ribs on one side then on the right side.
12 ribs
14 ribs
(most people probably wouldn’t even notice, but it would bug the shit out of me)
The left engine up cover panel inside has to be modified as well… Quite different cut out and “shroud” welded it on..
minor details… Big impact!
I think the aviation fuel filler caps, sold with the fill neck are the easiest way to move the filling part to the outside of the car.. PI Motorsports sells them too.. but it just was not the style I was going for.
I guess you saw this thread of mine
