Working fuel and water filler caps.
Hi fellas.
Well they have been a long time coming but the first sets of the fuel and water filler caps are now ready to send off. I know there was a list a long time ago but after having a lot of things to sort out I am back on the case anyone wishing to re order please contact me in the usual way and I will not let you down.
These items are for the Tiger 1 series early mid and late and of course the Sturmtiger. .
Again sorry for the wait look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers Paul

Re: Working fuel and water filler caps.
Hello John.
Very glad you like them my friend, as I said I am just doing my best self taught on the lathe and its great to know people are happy with my efforts.
You are looking to bore a hole in your pride and joy at just under 22mm the least nerve wracking way I found to do this was to buy a step drill they are not expensive and as the name suggests you can bore a hole from a few mm up to 50mm in some cases in a series of gradual steps, the resulting hole is also slightly tapered which is great as you can take your time and get the female section of the cap set to fit nice and flush with the surface, by this time the cast in plug will also have just about gone! then simply super glue in place then when set a milliput weld line around and coat of paint and you are ready to go.
Hope this helps and thanks again.
All the best Paul

Re: Working fuel and water filler caps.
Hello Steve.
Had a bit of a setback due to a death in the family, I had told other customers who contacted me privately, but may as well say it on here now.
So sorry but yes I have got behind on filling the last few orders but it will be sorted asap, unless you would like a refund which is not a problem either.
Cheers Paul.

Hi Paul.
Sorry to hear of your bereavement.
