    Does anyone know of a filller that would have a curve to it that would mount in the upper rear quarter of a A sedan?
    I don't want to use a fuel door and I don't want to mount it in the rear panel due to space problems
    Thanks
    Jeff

    Make a pattern of the correct bend you need and take it to your local muffler shop and let them bend it up for you in exhaust tubing,,,you can use a neck from almost anything as long as the gas cap fits. HRP
     
  3. HRP, what's you're opinion of having a naked cap similar to maybe a 65 Chevy pickup cap in the open like oiler is asking, or at the rear panel? Water problems? I know it should be isolated in a rubber mount of some sort.

    Use something like a 40 Ford rubber gasket in the hole,,,they look like a large rubber gromet. HRP

    sorry fellas I should have been more clear (as usual)
    What I'm looking to do is use a flip up style cap but i need to find one that has a curved base.
    I've found ones with flat bases but I know I've seen them mounted to the tops of fenders and whatnot
    Thanks again

  6. Who says you can't whittle an adapter from aluminum? Make a recess for a flat base cap to fit into? Bad thing about a recess, you can see all of it inside the car.
    Where there some Caterpillar dozers that used a smaller lock down cap? Made of br***? I can't remember where I saw it, seems like it was from the 40's or 50's.
