Flush fuel caps

Seeking advice on flush fuel cap installation.

Planning to install ACS 10610 vented flush fuel caps on my 701 fuel  
tanks to make the wings pretty (and hopefully avoid some of the  
problems with the existing filler necks and caps).    I was wondering  
if anyone else has installed flush fuel caps and what treatment was  
used for the skin - cap flange interface.      Were the skins riveted  
to the the fuel cap tank flange or where they left free to flap in the  
breeze as the stock installation?     Was the skin extended over the  
flange right up to the cap or butted up to the flange.    Any problems  
with fit due to curvature of the skin and the distance from the skin  
to the flange?  Did it hurt when you cut off the existing filler neck?

And finally any thoughts on the best gasket material and fasteners to  
use.    Any pros and cons on cork vs standard fuel resistant gasket  
goop?

Thanx Vic
