 |
|
I am just about to put on my final paint and noticed that my gas filler bracket is looking rough.
I will bend it back into shape but I don't know what the correct shape is.
Does anyone have a picture of one that is correct?
Thanks! |

It doesn't look bent to me.
Put the pipe in and get the clamp round again.
Looks like you need to rework the 1/2 round piece.
Pipe needs to point to the gas tank filler rubber.
Paint your inner fenders etc again with www.masterseriesct.com silver or black brushed on?

For the 1/2 round piece, is that tab bent the wrong way?
I haven't used master series, I'll have to check it out!
Thanks for the reply. |

It looks like it should be pushed up & folded back to the inside?

I can confirm now that it is pushed up and folded in.
Get your pipe out and get it fit to the pipe with body hammer & dolly.
