Ok I seen a decent amount of people wanting the Flip Top Gas Cap adapter I made, so I am having some made. After figuring the cost up I can sell them at $30.00 plus shipping. These do not weigh much so it should be pretty damn cheap anywhere I need to send it. Here are some pics of how mine came out.
As far as what I am having done, it will be exactly what you see but in black material instead. I figured black is probably the safest color to choose.
I will have all of these made just the same as I had mine made. I had the machinist NOT drill the 4 mounting holes. The reason I did this was because I wanted to make sure it fit my particular cap. Also if I needed to move it slightly one way or the other it was possible. I figure better safe than sorry.
The install is very easy.
1.I placed the adapter on my cap. (with the cap open and on the bench)
2.Clamped it in place.
3.Drilled the 1st hole.
4.Placed a screw through the hole.
5.Lined it up and clamped it again.
6.Proceed to drill the rest of the holes.
7.Used the original screws that hold the filler neck to the Quarter panel to put it all back together.
The piece was designed to make a nice clean seal utilizing the spring loaded seal that is part of the cap. When you close the cap it has a really good clean feel to how it latches. And when you release it, it pops open crisply.
There is NO modification to your car and it is fully reversable if you choose to go back to the regular cap
Here are the pics of my install.
Please PM me if you are serious about picking one up. Thx guys.
I purchased enough material to possibly get 10 made. I hope to have them by Feb-6-09
