Re: Interest in Dummy Gas Cap Filler Neck?

That is true. It does not stick out as far as the stock filler neck. This is necessary due to the way it is being held in position. There is a small lip on the filler neck that is pushed up against the grommet. One way around this would be to weld some small tabs or a thin ring to the filler neck, but this would be visible from the outside. Another possibility would be to make some thin fingers that would slip underneath the grommet and hook onto the outside of the metal cab hole. This approach would complicate the design.
