[DeTomaso] Notes, warnings, cautions about fuel tank ventreplacement?

[Garth Rodericks]

I do NOT want to spend hours cobbling together bits to make it work. This thread made it 
  sound like it was the exact same thing readily available from my local Ford dealer. I'm happy 
  to support our vendors, but I won't pay a 100%-1000% markup (plus shipping) for the 
  exact same thing I could get locally.
   
  BTW, did you mean to cc the DeTomaso Mail List or the DeTomaso UK Driver's Club?

    So what year/model Ford is it from???  What do I need to tell the guy at the parts counter of
  my local Ford dealer?  Or if I can get it at a wrecking yard for next to nothing, what kind of
  car am I looking for to pull it from?


Garth,

Even if you found the Ford part, you'd still have to conjure up the various mounting bits to get it installed on a Pantera.  Why spend hours of your life trolling through junkyards to pull a $2 part off a car, then further hours cobbling together the necessary flange/grommet/etc. when the whole package, nice and new and ready to be installed, with rubber gasket, is only $25-30 or so?

Mike
