Not much to fabricating that mate. You could get one made from ally or steel that you can rivet the flange onto the panel from the outside, only requiring you to cut a hole in the panel to fit it without welding. Hard to explain, but imagine old mate cut that one out of his tub for you and you just trimmed up the panel to follow the shape of the recess, leaving about 12mm all the way around. You then cut a clearance hole in your tub and fit the bit you got from old mate so the panels sit on top of each iother and then seal it with goo and rivet it on. Would look pretty reasonable and no panel welding required.

My troopy uses a plastic insert (riveted or screwed into the panel) for the subtank filler. Looks a bit commercial but ok IMO.


Shit picture but you get the idea (photo bucket FTL)

Not sure where to source them from though. And unlikely you'll be able to use your toyota key...

No worries mate , i think the plastic insert like the troopy one would be your best bet try carac i think they sell those kind of things.

According to receipts (it came with the car) it's a Brown Davis installed in 1994.
