Re: LIL ERV the 50

Put my fuel tank in and put the filler on the rear fender, saw this done by a member on his TF. it looked so cool I had to do it on my AD.
I used a 1 1/2" hole saw to get things started then went in with a die grinder with a 3/16" carbide ball fine pitch cutter, very easy on the fender no heat build up. I found a piece of 1 1/2" exhaust tubing on the speedway web with multiple bends in it, perfect. I thought i'd keep the stock filler unit with the truck.

Re: LIL ERV the 50
