I fooled around with mine for months and months, ruining the oem tank neck, until not so lo came to my rescue, and gave me me a new neck to start over with....putting it back in the oem location was the only answer. Take a look at my build it might give you some ideas

Thanks, Jim

I checked out their website. They only carry the 1 1/4 inch 90 degree bend. I think if I used that and trimmed it down, I might be able to make this work. However, I would still need to connect another hose to this hose that then connects to the filler hose pipe.

I was scrolling through you build thread but couldn't find the section where you modified the filler neck. Do you remember what page it is?

Btw - You have some really great reference material from what I've seen so far in your build.
