Cheers Trav, i'll have a look. So needing to be welded on i'm assuming the filler neck is alloy too. I do have a filler neck on there already, which fits a standard slip in cap, are these ones similar to a radiator cap where they twist and lock?.


Cheers, Richo.

Sorry mate just had a look and have seen they are a threaded item, Will buy on soon.

No worries, note that an oil shield below the filler is advised. Mine does not seem to have one which makes it leak a bit. Might be the weld though I'm not sure.

The filler neck i have in mine at the moment, as i said previous, is for a slip in cap and from memory is welded underneath and sealed with a silicone at the top and have never really had a drama with leaking. but i'll keep the shield in mind.

Nope I like the round setup better. I take it you don't want the buckets etc?

Where did you get the gauges from?

The gauges are from Burton. They fit really well in place of the originals. I don't think revotec do them in black anymore though. I wanted to eventually get fuel and temp to match.
