Thread: Whats the outside diameter of the fuel filler tube that runs in the passenger rear wheel well

  1. 10-05-2012 11:59 AM #1







    Hoping its close to 1.75

    ALUMINUM ROLL BAR MOUNT WATER QUICK DISCONNECT
    *1 3/4" BAR MOUNT
    *AN-8 FITTINGS
    *PROGOLD AN-8 STAINLESS BRAIDED LINE - 90 SWIVEL X 45 - APPROX. 8" LONG
    *RACE USED
    *COMES FROM A LEADING NASCAR TEAM

    So I can rigidly mount this for my AWIC feed and return lines which exit the spare wheel well right near the Fuel Filler Tube... block of two of the ports.





    INLINE WATER CIRCULATOR
    *DUAL AN-12 INLETS & OUTLETS
    *2 THREADED BUNGS FOR QUICK CONNECT
    *RACE USED
    *COMES FROM A LEADING NASCAR TEAM

    crappy ms paint drawing so you get the basic idea, we are trying to keep the lines that exit near passenger side rear wheel from fouling any moving items in the wheel well.....to the hardlines under the rocker / pinch weld.

    is that the factory cap? i dunno never owned one

    you are totally missing the gasket which seals the filler neck

    thats bad

    they look exactly like 80's BMW and exactly like a stock metal OEL cap. (oil cap)
    so basically they just moulded a plastic fitting around a flat oil cap
