[DeTomaso] Billet Gas Cap - UPDATE

[Dan Mixon]

It's not in a locked area. It's forward of the deck lid. But I'm interested
in it for a different application that uses a threaded cap.

I have to ask why you would need a locking version if this is for the curved
filler neck which is located INSIDE the lockable declkid?

All,

Several weeks back I posted information regarding my success in
finding a machinist who was willing to tool up for replacement billet
aluminum caps as used on the Hall curved fuel filler neck sold for
the early cars - ones without the gas cap in the gill.

He has added sufficient material inside the cap face to allow for
drilling and tapping a small hole to be used to anchor a SS chain
to keep it from so readily being left on the gas pump. ;-)

After black anodizing, he will laser-etch the Isis logo.

I've posted a photo on the P.I. forum --- you know, the one that
isn't stuck in the '70's --- where photo posting is fast and easy.

I just received the following from him - he is the machinist who does
many of the parts Quella sells.


Hi? Larry,


?


Here
are some pictures of the Gas cap before I send them off to the anodizer
Tuesday.

I have the chain worked out so if you would like for me to include the chain

on your
caps let me know. It works out to be $5.50 for all of the 304 Stainless
hardware.
