Re: Interest in Dummy Gas Cap Filler Neck?

I've been thinking about this a fair amount this morning. It would be fairly easy to add a tubular spacer to the outside of the filler neck to move the gas cap farther from the grommet. It would alter the appearance of the filler neck though, so it would be a tradeoff. Adding the spacer would also add maybe $20-$30 to the cost.

Adding fingers under the grommet that would grab onto the cab metal would likely cause the grommet to bulge, it may scratch the paint, and it may compromise the seal of the grommet against the cab.
