did you get a new tank also?
No that filler neck drops straight down onto the original tank. I'd like a nice shiny stainless one but the original is in very good condition so can't really justify chucking it out jmccrary said:

Does look nice my friend...did you get a new tank also? I think you could make a few quid putting some kits together for this conversion.

Yep, I reckon there'd be quite a few takers for the "Phillerpot Mod Kit".I think you could make a few quid putting some kits together for this conversion.
You could even incorporate a stainless cover plate for the redundant aperture.
ETA. Or a stainless simple dummy filler cap that bolts in place through the existing holes.
Saves the fiberglass, filler & respray job.....
Just a thought.

I for one would be happy to put my hand in my pocket for a Phillerpot Mod kit. I think this is one of the best mods I have seen on an S, that and the seatbelt mod. Oh not forgetting your bog roll mod Glen

Copy or improve upon as you wish but I'll not be offering a kit.
The odd alteration, modification or change etc. I have made to my car are my own choice at at my own risk. Selling a modification is a whole different ball game
Smart bloke! Doesn't seem too difficult...just find someone who can weld a water tight pipe to the existing and put in a triangle shelf The odd alteration, modification or change etc. I have made to my car are my own choice at at my own risk. Selling a modification is a whole different ball game

It would be funny to keep the original one on there and run it to a water sugar solution

Nice idea, but even better: instead of water/sugar, how about urine?It would be funny to keep the original one on there and run it to a water sugar solution
Then anyone who tried to take the ps ........well they could!
Imagine that first syphon mouthful taste.
Nite nite folks.
Don't have nightmares.

Nice one Glen. I think we will have to call you 'Bwyan' because you are obviously a very naughty boy. ('Monty Python' ref if you don't understand!)
No Richard,. it's the petrol nickers who are very naughty boys.I am the messiah. Ha ha!
No offence intended to religious sensibilities.
That's why I spelt messiah with a VERY small 'm'
Hi all, new to the forum and very sorry if I've jumped onto the wrong thread.
I am in the process of trying to get my girlfriends S3 back on the road after a period of about 9 years. It's a long and quite sad story that I will not bore you all with.
Long and short is I think (given the cost of unleaded) I would like to change the filler cap for a lockable one,in the original pattern? Did one get manufactured in China?
I will have other questions I sm sure but if anyone can help with this it is a start.
Also I am looking at getting some slave cylinder mounting brackets made as mine was missing and I need one. Would anyone be interested? Not sure of price yet as I guess it will depend on volume.
