Steve,,the Willys is looking good,,love the column,and the seats..the whole package is awesome...

Thanks Robin, hope the weather improves soon.

It was raining here last evening so i had an evening on the lathe sorting my fuel filler and column drop.

I found a lump of 2.5" stainless round bar in the scrap bin so managed to get both bits out of a chunk of it.

Started with this








And produced these










I had an old motorbike flip cap laying around so gave it a repolish and made a flange from a bit of sheet stainless, put it together and got this










Made up a couple of tapped spigots and welded them to the boss for the column support, The bolts that hold the rose joints in place also hold the collar in place on the column, they have points which engage in small holes in the column outer.








Fitted the filler cap and it had stopped raining so made up the filler tube from some stainless bend offcuts, nothing wasted here.

Very nice work on the stainless.
