Hello

Thanks

Re: Fuel filler neck hole patch panel
There used to be rubber plugs u could put in them. Others just weld in a piece of metal circle.

Re: Fuel filler neck hole patch panel
yeah I defiantly want to weld a piece of metal in it and not the rubber. I just thought I would save some time if I could and get pre cut. I know I seen one somewhere or I just imagined it

Re: Fuel filler neck hole patch panel
Just welded up the auxillary tank's filler neck hole on the passenger side at the weekend. It's pretty easy to make a patch panel yourself - it has a slight curve that's easy to replicate. I made mine slightly oversized and used a joggler tool to put a flange on the edge. I held it against the back of the cab's sheetmetal with a couple of magnets and welded it in place.
