I have a HD with the full size wing tanks.  The tanks have a 2 5/8" opening 

for the fuel cap.

They are designed to work with the ACS flush mount non vented fuel cap.  I 

just noticed Zac sent me the header tank fuel cap style instead of the ACS 

ones.  Now here is my problem.  Acs changed the design of the fuel cap.  The 

new one will not work.  I need the old style with a rubber puck gasket.  I 

can't find the old style anywhere.  If any one has some I will pay top 

dollar for them.

My tanks are already installed with the holes cut for the fuel caps in the 

leading edge wing skin.

If I can not find any ACS caps I will have to cut out the 2 5/8 collar, weld 

in a patch and install a different cap system, plus most other caps are 

smaller so the hole in the leading edge skin will be oversize.



It sure would make things simple if I could get my hands on some of those 

caps.



Maybe I should go to Sun N Fun and help myself to some by the 601 flight 

line.  Just Kidding

There's always cork stoppers from the hobby and craft stores Frank. Stuffing a shop rag in the opening is cheaper yet. Just trying to help,

Hi Frank,

  

 

 I have an HDS with LET's.  I replaced the older style caps (Top hat style gasket)  with the new caps with "O" rings about a year ago and still have the old caps.  The reason I replaced them is because the top hat gaskets swell after a while and are hard to remove/replace.  If I remember right the new ones did not fit the holes very well so I took them apart and turned down the O D's until they fit. I also turned the top edges to blend them to the top skin better.  I don't know what type of set-up you have or why the caps do not work.  I will attach a picture of my new caps.  If I can help you can contact me off line.
