				Thanks for the reply’s guys,  
    
 I’ll see if I can machine a piece of ally the same shape as the filler cap and try that.  
    
 Cheers

     To aid in getting my tank neck on and off I machined down a piece of nylon that just fit inside the neck with a hole near the top for a screwdriver or what not to turn it with. This has works great as there is zero chance for marring the neck. Before re-installing the neck use anti seize on the threads

 Peter:  
 If your fuel cap is the same as ours which stuck pretty hard, I cut a 2” piece of ¼” by 1” aluminum bar and gripped it with a pair of vice grips. I inserted into the slots and used a crescent wrench to turn the vice grips until it would unscrew by hand. Good  Luck with your build. DO NOT ARCHIVE

				Use a piece of wood, NOT alloy so there is no chance of damaging the fuel cap internals. When I put mine on originally I used some permatex  on the threads but it was still a bit hard coming off. Cheers
