Hey JPINOY,

 

Does he want to make about 5000 more of them? hahahhaha

 

Looks very good!

Thanks! Yeah, he did this on his spare time.. I did ask him if he would make some if people asked for it, he said he'll think about it..

Did he say how long it took him? 'Boring' the recess is time consuming w/ a manual lathe. I take it he used a CNC mill. Did you show him the sketch that I made? I'm just wondering if he 'opened' up the ID.

Correct, he has a CNC. I know it didn't take that long. When I measured the flap, it was reading 2.359. He milled the inside to 2.345, but it was really tight. So he opened it to 2.351, snug, but I think anywhere between 2.350 & 2.360 might be ok, depending on your preference of snug. I might ask him to do another one later on.

Yeah, I know the dimension on my sketch is a bit tight. If I was making any more, I would go slightly larger.

 

I've had the 'test cap' on my filler for a couple of weeks now and done 3 multi-hour highway trips. No movement of the cap.

I made my own today. Went to Home Depot and bought a black abs 2 1/2" cap. Inside diameter is 2 3/8. fits perfect on the filler neck. Added some color and a Bowtie of course........

Anyone have a 3D printer?  You could make one with it as well and customize it some.  Just a thought.

Yeah, I've asked him a couple times, didn't get the vibe he would be willing to do more to sell. But.. here is his Etsy page, you can ping him, see what he says..
