I know the race 914 guys have probably done this, but I want to space my gas filler higher, cut a hole in the front hood and fill fuel through the opening. I have a few ideas on doing a "GT" type cap and how to do a spacer and rubber skirt, who has done this?
Pictures? Threads? |

I love the cap that Eric has on the yellow car....Do those fit our 914 tanks?
My idea is to machine an aluminum spacer to make the filler sit up a bit higher, use longer bolts in the eight holes, gaskets top and bottom, run rubber foam around the stock skirt and it would seal to the hood if done with the right seal. If no GT cap is available, I was thinking a fin could also be made/cnc'd to adhere or rivet/screw onto the stock cap to "sexy" it up....? Paint or powder coat the cap...? Thinking out loud. |
