Stainless Fuel Tank Closing Plate

[Mark D]

NICE!

Can't wait to get mine. Have you installed your yet? Hows the fit, finish, etc? It looks like standard #2 finish in the auction photos, I was planning on brushing mine with some 80 grit.

[Domi]

No, still not installed yet.
Anyway, I guess it will be plug & play as it is exactly the same.

GAH!

UPS damaged the FTCP during shipping. One of the corners close to the weld on nuts was bent pretty badly. The plate itself is bowed in the middle as well...not sure if that's normal/because of the stamping or if UPS did that too. The packaging was done pretty poorly.

Working with the seller on a resolution...

[Domi]

I'm sorry to read you had a problem with shipping.
I really hope you'll be able to find a way to repair the plate.
The seller is really a serious person, I'm sure he'll be able to help you quickly.

[Domi]

So, did you find a way to repair or receive your plate?

[Mark D]

Yes, the seller gave me a discount on the plate since it was damaged and I was able to have a local shop flatten out the bent sections for me.

Good news

Looking for a SS fuel tank closing plate with oem look...aka has drain channels and features similar to the original. Not interested in completely flat plates or the aluminum ones Hervey sells.

PJ Grady was making these for a while but they are no longer in production. He's searching to see if he can dig up an extra one ... If other people are interested it may be possible to do another run of these if there is a great enough interest.

Otherwise Josh at DPI said that he has these in the works but no official timeline on when they may be available.

Anyone else have one laying around that they may want to sell? It can be used as long as it has no dents. Dirty and scratched is OK since I'll be brushing it with 80 grit to match the look of the rest of the car.

Mark, The only reason I don't make it out of Stainless is heat problems and the way Stainless holds heat and radiates it into the tank where the gas builds up pressure. Were only 5 1/2 off the road.
