Been done quite a bit. You can buy those fuel doors and then it's a cut and paste operation. I've even seen them at Pep Boys. If you want one just check out any import parts website. Might have to modify the filler hose slightly, but it's pretty simple.

I bought a motorcycle gas tank and cut out the mounting plate and welded it into were the original filler was. I also had to make a filler tube. If u buy one of those caps you will have to make a mounting plate for it which is more difficult.

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that that guy said that door leaks like a b*tch and regretted installing it...

I like the look. I guess I'll have to buy one and mess around with it. Someone needs to make a bolt-on for us aircooled crazies.

If you buy an good one.. Sparco there's no problem...

The only problem I had, is that there were no welding-in-plates for that sparco so I had to make my own weld-in-bracket.

Looks good, I guess from your work it’s not going to be a quick accessory. Thanks for the pictures that helps. If you have any more please post. I think I might be crazy enough to try the mod.

Thanks

RaceLook, do you mind sharing the dimensions of the cap? I'd like to start planning "My Damage". Thanks

@ evel8-dude

I'm verry bussy at this moment with my last points of school, but in the weekend I have to find some time to measure up the cap. With measurments do you want? (diameter?)

@effvee

Yes I wanted the fuel-entree almost straight with the body. So that it not stood "open" at the underside and top.
p.s. everybody has seen the drainpipe in the bracket!!!?? (so I keep my paint good at the fuel-entree)

p.s. On Germanlook.com Boblebaard has used an tankinlet of an golf mk1 so he haddend to make an bracket by his own.

This is his pic
