Re: Why can't I find a nice aftermarket fender?

Re: Why can't I find a nice aftermarket fender?

I spent 6 months looking for an aftermarket fender with the square filler door option. They don't make it. Your only choice to keep it is a boneyard fender. Aftermarket companies say cut it out and roll lip in yourself...yea right. So, here is what I did. Quick, easy, looks great, and CHEAP.
Get a Perko vented fuel filler neck for a boat. Drill the hole with a standard door lockset holesaw. Screw neck to fender.... 10 minutes & $20 later you're Done. Cap is chrome ( dull spot is from flash on the camera)

Well done. Just to expand on this idea a flip up style race cap might look spiffy, too.
