My next project for the rocket will be to convert the Fuel and oil caps over to the Blau 110mm for the fuel, and 80mm cap for the oil tank.
I just received these caps today from a guy over in Europe. I answered an old posting in the classifieds over on the bird board, and I shocked that he still had a few sets left. I got the caps and the filler necks. The Fuel cap is as received, and is actually polished Stainless Steel. The oil cap is polished Aluminum. Both are genuine Blau caps as stamped on the bottom. Made in Austria. The caps in the pics are just laid there for size reference. On the fuel side I am going to have the fuel cap go up through the hood, and have a locking gas gap hidden below the Blau cap when it is removed. The Blau gap will be secured with a lanyard to keep it from getting stolen. I'm going to raise mine up high enough so the cap is level with the hood line. On the oil side I'll probably butcher up a 911 oil inlet to mount the cap to. Both caps will have a handle made to remove them easily like the GT units. This looks to be a good fall project.

David, Lookin good so far, I can see by the pic that you've got the later style Ford neck with the shorter cap retaining lip. The Stant Cap# 10491 will fit it with no mods. One note, of caution, do not weld the new neck and receiver together until you have the Blau cap and receiver in hand.... When you get the new cap and receiver and place both over the Stant cap you'll notice the interference, and you'll have to compensate for it. Ron |
