Re: HOWTO: Poor man's no-weld gas cap delete
I also did something similar.
I drilled the cap on an angle to accept my automatic power antenna. Then I cut the neck off the no longer needed tank and split the inside end of it into about a dozen "fingers", bending them outward to act as a securing lip. Still need to touch up the paint around the grommet, but here's what the result looks like so far. Works like a champ.
My goal was twofold. Addressing the tank delete hole, plus having a "stealthy" antenna without requiring all the body and paint work of frenching in an antenna mount. Most people just glance at it, recognize it's unusual and keep moving, so I'm pleased with the result.
