yep, the big old tank looks great. Especially when AC used to machine finish the entire big tank with turned circles about an inch or more of diameter.
My modern fuel cell is filled by opening the boot lid, so the old flip-top fuel cap is inop and just for show. But, i like the modern bits a lot, also.
There is no way i would trust the old flip-top from shearing off in a turn-over. In the day, with real big tanks, i used a flush aircraft installation on the right fender just for safety. After all, if you think a roll bar is necessary, surely securing the fuel cap is equally important?
