My question is what have you guys used to connect the filler neck to the neck coming out of the tank. Its 2 1/4" and I was wondering about a piece of radiator hose.
The aftermarket ones that I checked on are about $15 plus shipping. What are they made out of????
Because, either mine is Rock Hard or there is some sort of "metal" in it.
Comments please. Thanks

At $25 a foot 3" should cost about $8 if they will sell me that little bit....which I sort of doubt. I'll also check with Advance. I get a discount there but I do have a new Oreilly's just opened. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | my local NAPA has it in appropriate short lengths, I got one for my 57 off the shelf that was about 6" I think - don't recall the price, but what's a few bucks when that sort of safety is the issue

Wanted me to buy a two foot piece for $25 a foot. I told them I'd move on down to NAPA! Advance didn't have it but could get it in long lengths. JimCarter is $15 for the little piece I need plus shipping. If NAPA don't want to cut me a short piece then I'll wait until I go to Kansas and pick me up one at Jim's. Its only a month away and the panel isn't going anywhere before then... I don't think  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Well I wasn't going to pay O'Rielly's $25 a foot so I went to NAPA. They would not "cut to length" but they said they would sell me a piece at $18 a foot. I ask for a discount, through my nephews shop, and the total price was $14.27 for a foot including tax. So, Weeds, Czechman, or anyone else needing a short piece of 2 1/4" gas tank fuel filler connection for their Panel or Burb I have enough to make about 3 more. Let me know and I'll make you a real deal!! Oh, I couldn't help but laugh when I walked in. Jacob saw me coming in and the first thing he said was "need a fuel connecting hose" huh. Now thats a parts man!! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 32 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 32 | Found a reasonable source for filler hose for my '52. Apparently, the Corvair used 1 3/8" I.D. hose. This guy sell about a 4" piece for $4.95 plus $5 shipping. Here's a link to his ebay store where you can search for "filler hose". http://stores.ebay.com/CALIFORNIA-CORVAIR-PARTS | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 32 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 32 | That was FAST. Received the hose today.
TWO THUMBS UP!
