Le Mans Gas Cap
As I am moving forward with my build of my Classic Roadsters drive train project I have started to look to "what's next".
The previous owners of the kit had never added a gas cap thru the body. The tank is installed and the filler tube is stubbed up to just above the top of the tank. I have the filler tube with a stock cap and the Le Mans style flip cap cover to mount over it. But the CR 1 body did not have the recess in the fender to countersink the Le Mans cap into a round well. I know many years ago DV had supplied customers the fiberglass piece that you could add into the fender to make it work.
Now I am open to suggestions as to where I might look to for such a piece without having to make a complete mold myself.

Thanks Bruce! No hurry and I can rework it to fit if its not exact, I woke up thinking of calling you today! And then I see you posted this!
Happy to pay whatever cost you incur for it!

Hi,
I cut my own hole above the tank filler. Similar to an fia cobra but not as far to center.

Highplains,
I had thought about that location. But I decided to recess it as on the 427's.

Br Bruce sent me a fiberglass well! After locating it, cutting a hole and gluing in in from underneath I have the recessed well I wanted! Thanks Mr Bruce!
I still have to add some more glass to the underside and fill & smooth the recess. But it will look great!  |
