Petrol Cap Surround

[J M Stott]

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if anybody has an engineering drawing (or even just an accurate dimensions so i can do the drawing) of the aluminium surround that goes around the petrol cap, if not i will jest remove it and do it. I am going to get it machined out of steel and chrome plated as i am not a fan of how it looks at the moment and i think a bt of chrome wouldn't go amiss, or do you think its worth just polishing the aluminium up and lacquering it?

 

Has anybody done something similar to this?

 

Im also wanting to a lot of carbon dipping done on the interior, does anyone know of anywhere good to carbon dip around the west yorkshire area, preferable close to Halifax?

Is it worth the hassle of DIY ?

 

EDIT

Even cheaper at Elise Shop :

I found these very helpful, I'm getting a load of other stuff anodised here at the end of the month. I actually had my three rings (fuel, Isolation and extinguisher) done in black only when I installed them the screws took away some of the black. I took them back had them stripped and redone again in silver.
