Acting foolishly since '88
Gidday guys, I have a GB400tt I am giving the old cafe treatment and one of the big things I want to do is change out the original fuel cap to one that I liberated from my last job. Its from a Bristol freighter, not a beautiful or impressive bit of kit but the cap is cool non the less.
Unfortunately the caps flange is bigger than the sunken in joggle thing there on the tank. I took the tank in to an old welding guy I know who builds bikes himself and has been welding professionally for longer than I've been alive. He didn't want to know about it, he said it would be too difficult to do without distorting the tank. I showed my painting guy and he said he could get a guy to machine up an adapter of sorts that would fill the sunken part and match up with the flange on the new cap. This would be too expensive for me, being a poor bugger so here I am, asking if any of you enlightened chaps might have any ideas on how to stick the thing on there?
