<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Dennis, Check the media under my name for a pic of the newly vented gas cap.  I forgot how to post photos in the general forum.  The other side of the drilled hole is just inside of the seal gasket and is open to the tank above the internal construction of the cap.  I’ve reread your original question and if you are…[Read more]

Good evening Dennis.  I live in NE Ohio and my FF TD is in NW Ohio with almost two hours separating us!  Regarding your question about the gas cap seal – I think I did to allow air to pass.  I’m going to bring the car home this weekend if the weather is good. We had snow on the ground this am and it is supposed to hit 80 Thursday – I love livi…[Read more]

If it’s a VW tank, any foreign auto store will carry a VW cap for whatever year you have.  Also Amazon and the huge number of VW on-line businesses. Then, there is always MG Magic which has all kind of parts for MG kit cars.

Hi DENNIS, I put a new tank in last year and had the neck cut down as far as possible. Of course, the vent tube is eliminated. The VW’s cap is unvented, of course. I followed my shops advice and drilled a very small hole (1/8”) in the top of the gas cap so air can bypass the seal and I also leave the tank about three or 4 inches low.  (I alwa…[Read more]

Ed, I don’t know if I said or not, but my wife Sharon is also coming and we should be there Thursday in time for dinner! Since you’re using a laser for name tags, I leave my sharpie at home…. Gregg Strain

I’m registered at Carlisle, however, I’m registered at a different hotel (it’s all about points!)

Thank you Ed for the information.  We are going to plan on it. However, I think I’m going to choose a Hilton because I have a lot of points to use. If that’s a issue, please let me know!  I’ll probably arrive Thursday afternoon also. I live near Akron Ohio, so I will bring a trailer.  I’m not built for a 5 hour drive in a TD.  I did meet CRASH5…[Read more]

I’m really interested in the show, but I’m a little confused!  The show’s website has the event for May 12 & 13th, but the hotel information above says 10 ~ 14th.  Is some else beyond the show dates taking place? I would assume there are group meetings, but I’d like a little more info please.

Ive been a member for several years, but finally g…[Read more]

I’m a little late with my suggestion! I bought a new VDO speedometer and the cable conversion to mate an analog cable to the electronic speedo. It did not go well. The calibration procedure was less then accurate regardless of what method I tried. When I got a reasonable result on the odometer, the needle was swinging all over the place (20 mph s…[Read more]

I agree that MGMAGIC is a good source. I considered them for a long time, but I decided to go to a marine upholstery/canvas shop because of their extensive variety of material. However, I live near Lake Erie which has a huge base of suppliers. Also, this time of the year is a busy time. Cost was in the same ballpark as MGMAGIC, I waited about 3…[Read more]
