I have thought of doing the same. There are lots of photos of different GT configurations here

there should be enough info there to get you going. Hardest part I think will be the cap.......IIRC someone on this board has duplicated one.

Post your progress so I can copy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Its me, I normally sell them for both the original neck, and the 100MM type. I am currently out of stock on the caps, but if you find you own I make the handles as well, and convet a stock cap into the large type. I even make the GT type rain gutter you see here. I am going to order more shortly.

Martin,

Have you taken down your web site that listed the GT items you are making?
I can't seem to find it.

I never had my own site, they are shown on a couple of threads here and there, on Armandos site, for Chicago Pete's GT, which is AWESOME, and my progress thread on RENNLIST. Things are a little crazy for me at the moment, with selling/buying a house...so I haven't made to much. I am not finished by any means, just trying to catch up.

Mittlemotor in germay has a nice cap/filler/filter mesh kit for the 914 as well as a nice annodized trim ring for the hole in the hood.

A little spendy though...

I always get the question about it getting stolen, or the gas getting stolen, but the real answer here is Blau does make a locking gas cap for the 100MM neck. The cap also has a spot for a lanyard, to cable it on.

My price is far better than Mittle Motor, and I say that with pride, as I am friends with the owner of Mittle Motor, and have deal pending with him now on some other GT parts. Plus you don't pay shipping from Germany with one of my caps. I paid for it in the beginning.

Here it is on a stock tank under hood, no hole. Also if you are really worried about it and have the hole, a simple section of magnetic sign material painted body color, stuck from underneath would camoflage the hole enough for most to not notice that the hole was even there.

Here's some pictures of my North Bay Caps installed. These are by-far the most accurate in replication and the least expensive.

I opted to use the stock filler and overflow guard. I installed a 100mm neck over the top of them and utilized the stock bolts to attach the assembly back to the tank. The bitch is getting the stock bolts tightened through the opening (they're inside the 100mm filler).

Martin now has new 100mm fillers. I searched the world over for an old bug tank. I believe Martin's (if he still has inventory) were about the same price as the rusty one I had to work with.

Let Martin get settled in and get yours from him.

(shit... now Aaron's gonna want one)

Hey guys, the tank and filler are level so my hood's higher in back and lower in front of my modern "GT" cap. Did you do anything to the gap in the front where the hood dips like flare it?

The 914 already has a locking gas cap, it's called the hood.

I'm far from being a 914 purist but this seems like going to a lot of trouble just so you can drip gas on your hood's paint job.

All that being said, they do look cool on a 550 Spyder.

Then why do the conversion? If the car is a driver, why not leave the filler under the hood locked up safe?
