Do you know of Peter Nilsson in Sweden? He might have one. If you have Facebook you can click this link:

If you don´t, I could ask for you.

Thanks Piney , I just found a grill.

I know Peter Nilsson, but was forget that Peter also is into the Pantera Bussinus.

...I am the Machinist who has Machined these 'Gills' to mount a Aero Aircraft Style Filler Cap. Be advised there are 2-3 (Slightly in the Vanes) Different Styles of these gills for different years/models of Panteras. If you would be concerned about 'Matching' the opposing gill. This is why I had to charge so much for the machining operation. I would warn the customer that in clamping the gill to the mill table; the gill may crack. Leaving me having to find a (matching) replacement, near Impossible! I broke none, I made many satisfied customers. FYI

MarlinJack , do you still machined the gills ?

Maybe I can use a RH .

I know there are different style of grills, but can any of them for my project.

I already found a LH gill

...go to batinc.net to purchase the 3" 'Aero 400 Series' Cap (comes with the Gasket). British American Transfer

...Also know, installing this assembly onto any Pantera involves EXTENSIVE Sawing, Cutting of the Sheet-Steel of the Body, under the Gill.* Make sure You WANT this, it is NOT for the UNcommitted!!

*...You will also need the 2" NECK mounted on top of the Fuel Tank, (to fit the 2" FF Hose) Indexed to the proper Direction.

...just advise for those who Want THIS.

Thanks MJ,

let you know what I decide.

...Correction to the address...batinc.net

British American Transfer.

I do NOT work with the Small cap (6 Bolts). I Machine for the Larger 3" Cap Aero 400 Series. 8 Bolts. The CAP alone is 3" Diameter. I was just at the site, They have both Keyed and non-key. Plus the Funnels.

Good Luck with it.

FWIW, if you find a gill with the filler hole, it´s possible to attach the 6 hole version of the aero cap in a pretty simple way. I´ve had it like this for almost 10 years.
There was some cutting in the sheet metal involved. And, of course, the neck on the tank must be oriented correctly, if you don´t have the later version.

To get the gills off there are two retaining hex nuts to remove?
