Vic,

The Caps are the same ones the 601 boys use. I got them from Aircraft spruce #
05-28666.
To get the flange to sit flush with the skins I had to adjust the angle of the
threaded bung that is welded into the tank. Because I welded my own tanks and
I knew I wanted flush caps from the out set, I just welded them in at the correct
angle.
I don't think this would be an easy retro fit. :)
To keep the skin tight to the flange I put a piece of soft foam (like a sponge)
between the skin & the tank to evenly hold it up and then just screwed the cap
flange down over it.

Clear as mud? :)
