Waiting for the bolts to turn up to put the cover on but the tank is in Do you have the part numbers for the fuel tank filler parts. I tried buying these a year or so ago and got told they were all discontinued.

The rubber part is discontinued now so would have to be old stock, Iv had mine for around 9/10 years now only just getting round to fitting it. The plastic part is still available though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 That would explain it. Wow, that is some long term planning 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that is some long term planning Wasn’t the plan back then but it needed replacing not long after I picked it up I tore my anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament in my knee so couldn’t work or walk to far without falling over so waited for an op. Had the op and then during recovery I got sepsis and had 4 more operations in my knee and couldn’t walk for a year. Spent my savings I had saved to do all this to my car paying bills so put the car in storage while I got the money together to do the car. Now we’re here just lucky I had it. Still loads of other parts out of production though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Looks like a good fit from what I can tell, pleased with it? Curious to know what the weight saving is over OEM. Presume your going to leave it carbon? Should look good once you’ve transferred the third brake light and rubbers over. Are you running glass or plexi?

Are you running glass or plexi? It’s a lot lot lighter than a stock tailgate. I only done it as wanted one without a window originally but got stung by a carbon guy. So just went with Seibon in the end. Quality is really good, only gripe I have is one of the fittings for a bolt is a little shit and fit looks good. Some small adjustments with the hinges where it connects to the roof. I’m having the carbon so you can see it through the original colour to be different and will be going with original glass as plexi scratches so so so easily so can’t be dealing with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Sounds good. I recall you were running a full cage as well? Any plans to run carbon doors as well, or is that a step too far! lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t see the point unless I was really competitive and wanted to save a ton of weight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
