New replacement fuel filler metal neck & cap needed - source?

Ideally stainless

The bent metal filler neck that drops into boot rain channel and connects to the rubber tank connector

Mine has rusted, so ideally stainless

Thanks, not heard of this - shall take a look

Because the light rusting is on the internal unprotected pipe, presumably it will return very quickly as still exposed

Plating doesnt appear to b an option as plating co. says the process (eg Zinc) results in v little internal deposit (and expensive) - Hence a Stainless Steel alternative appears best solution?

I would just clean it up and move on, it's lasted 32 years!
