Rover 827 update.... Fueling around...

I've actually got two filler necks - I should probably let one of them go - although is it the breather that's knackered on yours, or the actual neck? I need to see what's up with my two as they're both spares. Let me work out a price, as I'd like to see yours stay on the road.

The issue is mostly that I made the neck/breather out of  a Subaru neck (the original was rusted beyond repair with massive holes in it), I think my creative urge sover took my actual fabricating skills! I don't think its really breathing properly because filling it is virtually impossible at  a petrol station and it burps fuel if you get to eager filling from a fuel can. 

Ideally I just need a filler neck in solid condition/breather that does the job properly, doesn't need to be show winning in appearance! 

If you are willing to let one go I am happy to hand over cold hard cash for it or possibly swap it for a knackered very broken Reliant Scimitar (only needs a new rear axle and an engine rebuild!).

Right @Marina door handles, I think I've done Dropbox correctly. But let me know if you can't see these docs.

I've got a few more kicking around, including the Rave system.

For 827 and possibly Honda Legend 2.7 V6 owners out there here are your LED blinks for the PGM-FI system...

I have been getting very bored of filling the Rover from fuel cans, so I decided that maybe I could modify the current fuel filler to make it work properly. 

My suspicion is a breather issue, I think my fabrication may have been a bit clumsy causing restrictions. So I have pulled it off the car and have made a change....

That right angle bend seems like an obvious issue...

So I chopped it out and replaced it with a bit of bendy rubber...

Just ignore the mystery toothbrush, that is for smoothing my eye brows....

Since then, I have cleaned and painted it and re sealed any welding pin holes with chemical metal.

I just need to put it back on the car and test it......
