I want to fit an Aero(bike) filler cap to a custom made tank and wondered if I need a bikes tank and cut the neck out and weld to mine.The cap will be on the seat arch and I would like it flush.Anyone got any pics and advice? Thanks

You can't beat a pretty flap :biggrin: .Yes something similar but would like it to sit flush like on a bikes tank.

had one on my cutdown
the previous owner had done it all though
the tank was drilled to make a wider neck then welded a collar around it then he put a metal/alloy pipe reducer over the top to make sure it went down into the tank far enough so not to splash about
im sure it came from B&Q as i remember seeing it on the receipts he gave me when i bought it

Here are a few pictures of mine. I bought an Aero cap and weld in neck from Demon Tweeks. Welded the neck into the tank, but they can be held in with hose and hose clips if needed. The cap is bloted on top of the frame, cork gaskets go under the cap and between the frame and the tank neck. Hope this helps.
