To answer your "gas security" question, it Is possible to mount the Blau cap and filler neck "around" the original, so that the standard 914 neck is still in place - then a locking fuel cap can be used under the Blau cap.
Having done something similar on my car (fiberglass hood), the biggest pain is centering the filler neck to the newly cut hole; even a few mm out looks "off". Maybe someone else on the forum has an optimum alignment method? - Tony Attached thumbnail(s)

If you like the race car look the above looks cool. I wish someone made one like the silver 914/8

Peter Dawes did the fuel on number 41 a long time ago. The fuel door is from an airplane.

I like the under-hood fill. It gets tons of looks as first, people wonder why you're going under the hood then are surprised to see a trunk, and second, people wonder why you're putting gasoline in your trunk.
Except for racing, it's just "different". That's fine for me. GA, still missing the old "flip the license plate down to fill" trick... |

I'm looking at this one from 9xauto.com. (no affiliation) More of an access hatch rather than the actual cap of the tank, but looks like a cool option. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to soon.

That may work but you need to change out the flush-head Dzus fastener to maybe a key or something so you do not need a screwdriver each time you need gas. $59 the price is good

It's such a novel install using the camloc fasteners. It is not really Camloc fasteners but you push one button down the second button goes up and the door opens. There is an arm inside and pushing the second button down make it pressure lock. The unlock is engraved open, and the loch is marked close. If I remember it right I have not touched it for 5 years. It is not just a hinge but has a spring arm and a hinge. The PO had it up and tried to open the front hood and bent it up. E's body man fixed it up. NEW RULE Never open the hood when the gas cover is open. Bob B |

Unfortunately I don't know what the unit came off of. It is well finished from the top, but a bit rough with on the back side. I do get a lot of comments about it, surprisingly I've had many 914 guys (past and present owners) voice dislike as it breaks up a smooth hood. But it is nice nice filling up up w/o leaning under the hood. Dayton, I grew up there.  |
