I also fabricated some filler necks to connect the tanks the caps. The caps were 2 inch and the tanks are 1.5 inch. There is also a significant dog leg to negotiate. Here is a picture:
I was wondering if you changed the inlet on the tanks to match the new caps. Fortunately I had all the materials to make the dog legs lying around. The spacers would have saved me a few hours. I guess I should have asked but I did not think that you would have them.
Do you want me to throw some in the mail....they are waterjet to exact dimension of the base......
Original caps sit very low but I had more than one request so we made some for stock....
Fran, please do send me a set of spacers. Please toss some window hardware in the box too and I will send you a check for the hardware. Do you have an AC unit to ship me yet?
You guys have given me enough grief about the flat tire that I decided to get the tire mounted. I have to admit, it makes the car look a lot more complete even without the roof on it.
Bill, McMaster-Carr has fuel hose in 1.5 inch but they have a 5 foot minimum order at about $10 a foot. If I can't find another source we cut split up an order.
Bill,
I was at the shop of a fellow RCR builder a few weeks ago and he used flexable hose and added the springs out of a lower radiator hose to keep the hose from kinking.Seemed to work very well.
