Default Options for 911R type center fill fuel cap setup

Can you all give me some available options for a 911R center fuel fill system using the modified Blau cap. I am looking to put one on an aluminum ATL plate. I am looking for the parts to fabricate the unit including a cap like the ones Martin Baker used to sell.

Thanks in advance...

30 seconds on the google and I found a half dozen, so what's the issue? Are you wanting one that already has the dorsal fin welded on?

I meant "cheap"...but it's not a mod for the sheepish. Please do not weld on an old fuel tank. Fill it up with water first.

Whats the issue? Well I said modified cap so that would imply at minimum the fin but of course I want drilled. I also want aluminum overflow well and up pipe. I have PM'd ebay people over a week ago without reply. Believe it or not we have Google in New Mexico so I'm more looking for someone who has really done it than some one who has looked it up...

Any real world replies would be appreciated.

Unless you have an original to look at, you may be on your own. If you run into a car thats had this done, you may take the opportunity to look/photo. I'm not sure where or how people fabricate these, but I'd be prepared to take a fair amount of artistic license. The cap may be the easy part.

That's kind of what I am thinking Whalebird. I am going to look at a couple different cars this week and see if I can R&D them. Ripoff & Duplicate. I will also take a look at a few at Rennsport.

Thanks

In the real world I'd reply very different after a response like that, but here on rennlist I'll settle for letting you look it up yourself and keep to myself the name of the company that has an overstock and is willing to dump them cheep. Anyone that would like the number is free to PM me for details.

Thanks Tom, that seems to be the best one I have found so far. I am hoping to find the bottom unit in aluminum. I will have to look at a few with my own eyes, in the real world...

Oh Drama dribble for post count some where else OK?

What was your problem with my helping anyway? You post a request that seems so obvious that I can't imagine you really needed any help. It actually looked like you had it handled. You don't need help with what you are looking for. You need help in accepting the help you receive. I figured there may be folks that didn't know what you were talking about so I put in a bunch of links to make it obvious what it was you were looking for.
