blackmarkit Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sorry I forgot to add they would be for Datsun 510's and would come complete with hardware. 1 Link to comment
Just Joel Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Nice... Got a wagon myself so no need but I've seen quite a few threads where people were looking for originals... GLWS Joey Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Would you consider building it to take a modern threaded cap? Say 240SX? Also, how are you going to get it to seal? That factory rubber bit on the top you replaced with metal goes outside the car, not inside. Thinking if you welded the filler cap hole to the top of this tube, no worries about sealing.

blackmarkit Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 A piece of 1/4" urethane between the filler neck and body and a 1/8" piece of urethane between the body and the existing cap. Link to comment
blackmarkit Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I will have to look into the 240sx cap. Link to comment
Bradinnes Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yeah, I'm interested. Mine is still okay but this would be better for sure. Thanks for making the thread. I hope more people respond. Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Um.. that is awesome. Link to comment
Skib Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 nice, the rubber elbow at the fill hole is always a real pain to get a hold of. I like. Link to comment
freekwonder Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Definitely interested, I need a new one (soon) can you give more details and pics on how it's different and installed. Love the idea also of adapting a modern gas cap to it. Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Interested pending more pics. Josh- Link to comment
blackmarkit Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I will build another one and take lots of pics. The one I have pics of is driving around. I'm looking for a least 10 people before I make a batch. Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yes look into using 240sx cap area this will allow to use gas pump and not worry about getting gas on the side of your car. Link to comment
71kat510 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 looks like good quality if i had a 510 id be all over that Link to comment
blackmarkit Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Would this work. It would use a Harley gas cap. I think I would sell this sepertate for those who want to convert. That way everyone who doesn't need the filler neck could still convert to a newer gas cap. There are tons of aftermarket and different style caps available for those who want that custom look. What do you think. Link to comment
blackmarkit Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I would love to use the 240sx cap but unless I can find aftermarket support for the bung it would be very expensive. I'm trying to see if any friends could try a 240sx cap in a Harley. With so many people making Harley tanks, bungs and cap are plentiful. Link to comment
blackmarkit Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 This is another picture of it. But like I said I don't have it anymore so ill build another and show all the details. Link to comment
wat Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm interested in it. 240sx cap would be awesome but seeing as it would not be much more than a NOS one for something that would never break, I'd be all over it. Link to comment
510boy Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 wow a gift from the gods, those 510 filler necks and rubbers are a pain in the ass bro. i will definately be interested. Link to comment
SpudWhitman Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'm interested. Link to comment
