Including the GT style fuel filler hole

What even looks better is the pop up style gas fill used on the new mustangs. I installed one and never have pop the hood for gas. Hc

You can also retrofit a locking door on the hood which would give you access to your stock cap and not alter the hood's water tight seal. You can get the stuff from any junk yard from some late model cars.

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


They look cool on 914-6/GT's too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

i started thinking about it when i saw the tangerine colored ruf 3.8 spyder in the 10/05 excellence. spectaculer, but they said it cost 1600 euro's... fwiw...

i'd want mine completely flush fit, cause i don't need to get the q-tips out after washing just to keep water away from gas... but that's just me.

good times~

Here's mine, got the polished cap and drip tray from Martin when he first did them. Sourced the filler neck from an old VW bus tank.

open the hood and measure from the cowl down to center and from the fender over to center.
Put tape in the two locations.

Closed the hood and measure the exact same way making sure to push the measuring device tight against the cowl and the fender.

Try a motorcycle tank cap. Lock is included. Some sportive Cycles have same caps like the pic.

Rons did a nice job with 110mm Blau cap and he put a locking cap under the 110mm cap. He also made some GT handles

Aaron bought Richie's (nychef) 914...not sure if he or his dad is actually enjoying it.

he was a good guy to have around for wrenching sessions in the old days. Aaron had lots of energy....like Paul!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That's exactly how it looks when I hauled it out of Jersey. I have been so busy working on it, never have a chance to look back at those pictures.

Thanks.
