[Bob4x4]

Cary Lonnie made the hex 1" so you wouldn't have to go out and buy a special socket,but you fooled him

JHardwick,



I took a 1 1/4" socket and epoxied 1/8" ABS plastic to make a 1" plastic faced socket. I know... . way to much work. But I did not want to damage the top with a wrench. It is truly a nice piece of work. I have not changed my fuel filter since I bought the cover.



If you come up with a nice one I could have two... ..... just make the hex 1" so I don't have to make another socket.

Are you planning on having a way for the filter cover to hold onto the filter like the one in the 2nd Gen trucks do (hard to do with any type of metal)? I guess it's not that big of a deal, but it helps to pick it up out of the filter housing.

JHardwick,



Maybe you could make us some of these:

Jeff Your mail box is full I will call you tomorrow

Carey,



I could probably do it cheaper, but some of those designs are probably getting into licensing agreement territory. I dunno!

 

[JHardwick]

600horse, I emptied my box again.

 

[cap-n-cray]

Jeff,



License... . we don't need no license. :-laf I have seen too many of these on the market. I don't think it would be licensed. I like the idea of an inside release. May be too complicated, but I like it and I would buy one.

bages? we dun need no stinking bages! Oo.

 

[JHardwick]

lemme finish up with the fuel filter cap, after that I really need to get on the radius rod set up for the rear ... ... ... I am sick of the wheel hop . Between all of this I need to service my industrial accounts or the bank will come take all the equipment :{

 

[cap-n-cray]

In the movie "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" they did not say stinkin'. I lost a bet on that one. They did add stinkin' in " Blazing Saddles. "



We do need stinkin' fuel doors... . Diesel. Oo.



Cary

I am interested in the fuel filter cap.

Bogey: "If you're the police, where are your badges?"

Bandit: "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. [indignantly] I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"

I have the sound clip from Treasure of the Sierra Madre on my computer!

 

[cap-n-cray]

mgonske,



You are right, but they did not say "We ain't got no stinking badges. "



But I did find this:Stinking Badges



Amazing how many times it has been used. Look at the first one from the book.

Sorry for the thread hijack--I kind of like the idea of the billet fuel door, too.



That's an interesting page--and it includes a reference to UHF, with its "Badgers?" line. I still vividly remember ROTFLMAO when I heard the first line of that in the movie, and anticipated what was coming (and of course, it was all the funnier for being so completely out of context)! :-laf :-laf :-laf

LOL, I can see that this thread is off on a tangent ... ... ... ... ... I guess I started it though
