Rear section of Robin hood fuel cap

[NickandNeil]

I have obtained this cap that was supplied by Robin Hood.  It came without the rear section.  Does anyone have the rear fitment kicking around in their garage.

Still having difficulty finding one?

What about something like this, I know it's for a boat but it's 52mm hose fitting and is stainless steel.

Hi is it the metal plate with tube you need?

That's the right one , but please don't use it as is; there is only 3 short runs of weld so the plate is not sealed to the tube & tube is unlikely the seal to the cap without further work .

Hi NickandNeil 

it’s yours if you still want it and I will seam weld up for you

I found with mine the tube didnt protrude through the plate enough to make a good seal it touches but doesn't compress. I added a layer of rubber to the cap using 1mm nitrile rubber cut to fit and glued on. I would have adjusted the flange if the car wasn't built. I dont think the flange has anything to do with sealing, the seal on the cap is spring loaded and seals on the tube end. I'm not sure how accurately these parts are made so you may need to test first and decide if the flange needs to be adjusted.

Jez is correct,my memory fade on the flange plate seal, & as he said the tube doesn't seal well to the cap rubber.  Also I believe that a tab needs welding/forming inside the tube for the cap catch to engage with. Memory recalls that I cut the tube through at correct depth, hammered tube in to form a lip & then welded the cut closed -- was the only way I could figure to get a sharp/square lip on the inside of the tube.
