Le Mans Gas Cap
As I am moving forward with my build of my Classic Roadsters drive train project I have started to look to "what's next".
The previous owners of the kit had never added a gas cap thru the body. The tank is installed and the filler tube is stubbed up to just above the top of the tank. I have the filler tube with a stock cap and the Le Mans style flip cap cover to mount over it. But the CR 1 body did not have the recess in the fender to countersink the Le Mans cap into a round well. I know many years ago DV had supplied customers the fiberglass piece that you could add into the fender to make it work. http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...ictureid=18883 http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...ictureid=17870 Now I am open to suggestions as to where I might look to for such a piece without having to make a complete mold myself.

Find a can the right dimension or plastic bucket ..turn it upside down....it's your mold...
|
Good suggestion!

Have someone make a simple plaster cast for you to make a fiberglass part from !!
|
I can whip a free one up for you ( not CR specific), but I got a few projects to get shipped out first as soon as the lockdown ends, if you are in a hurry, I cant help you rite now,
|
Thanks Bruce! No hurry and I can rework it to fit if its not exact, I woke up thinking of calling you today! And then I see you posted this!
Happy to pay whatever cost you incur for it! Thom |
I'd be happy for one to install without recessing. Does anybody have part information on doing that?

Hi,
I cut my own hole above the tank filler. Similar to an fia cobra but not as far to center. Perry :cool: |
Highplains,
I had thought about that location. But I decided to recess it as on the 427's. Thom |
Br Bruce sent me a fiberglass well! After locating it, cutting a hole and gluing in in from underneath I have the recessed well I wanted! Thanks Mr Bruce!
I still have to add some more glass to the underside and fill & smooth the recess. But it will look great!http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...ictureid=18966 |
