Pretty cool,
Make me wish I would not have replaced my stock tank with a 5 gallon fuel cell.

Well except the little tank is lighter, lower, and much cleaner.

I was thinking of something like this to re-fuel to prevent removing the FG trunk lid.

Rather pricey at today exchange rate of $1.49 per Euro or $493.24. I'll pass

Nice. Thanks for the info. To do things right usually costs money.

I think it's a great solution, and the good thing about price is you can CHOOSE not to do it if you don't want to. you can get a $20 plastic tank flap at a FLAPS and make it work, and look nice, too... BUT, a solution as nice as this reminds me of the gas cap on a 550, and looks very correct as well as useful.


in short:




if you think you can make a solution that looks this good for people that are interested, at a lower price, then by all means DO IT, you will sell them I'm sure. but I have a feeling by the time you invest in that kind of R&D to make a copy, you will be surprised at the real cost of the endeavor.

For those who are looking to do this for less cash. I have found the filler neck and the 110mm cap from Markus Hummel on E-Bay Germany from time to time, more welding and fab work but save some $$$$$$$$. Ben

I hope this helps. The price is in Euros so it's not cheep. Badm.

Now THIS would be a group buy that interests me...

Love the way that looks! Has a nice seal and a drain so it can actually be driven too!

I still think it would be difficult to get the cost down on a group buy.

For those who want to scrounge around though...

Old Bug filler Neck (Samba) - $30-40?
100mm cap - Westy - $30?? (caps with fins can be found in the $100 range.)
Dog Bowl and Gasket can be had from a guy on the S-Registry for around $120? They're made to the vintage Porsche spec.

Here's my first stab at it with less than $100.00 in parts. I attached the VW neck to the stock overflow apron:


Here's the latest Dog Bowl and Gasket that I'll be incorporating into the design:


I like Ben's filler though... I've never seen that one. Looks very well done.

Don't mean to change subject , how about some info on the hinge strut setup ( minus the springs ) ??

Craig at Camp914 sells the sets for the trunk & Hood of the 914, you just need to let him know if you have stock or fiberglass hoods. Badm.

Its a lot of money, but a very cool part that I wish I could have....

Than I noticed somebody posted "MAKE IT"

Why not, lets try to make a kit for a better price if possible

I will try to help too . I could make these 3 parts in the picture below with the yellow arrows pointing to them.

I could arrange to make them out of a high or low tensile steel. They would be laser cut.

All I would need is some kind of drawing with the dimensions and thickness and I could make a simple 2D program and cut them out on the laser at work....but it could only be in steel...sorry no aluminum materials on hand

Personally, I don't think it is a Bad price from MittleMotor if that is something you want to do. Otherwise leave your car Stock

BTW, I have some Caps & Necks I will be selling in the Future
