I just received the loan of the "Big Tap" from Zenith to clean up the threads in
my tank filler opening after I had to cut the filler neck out to remove the
tank during wing modification.
I appreciate Zenith making it available but I thought I would share with those
of you who might be in a similar situation a little advice that could save you
some cost in shipping it back and insurance.
The kit Zenith sends contains a lot more than you probably need or want. In addition
to the tap, they send a big drill and chamfer which you wouldn't need unless
you can't get your filler neck to fit flush to the wing. I think that would
only be a problem if you had an early production tank or were doing your own
tank welding. If your old filler neck fit, the new one will too.
I've attached a pix of what is in the kit. If you just need to clean up the threads
like I do, you might just want the thread cleaner and the tap.
Good luck!
Tim
