1/24 Dry Brake fillers?

I'm just about to start a Fujimi Calsoni GTS-R Skyline, and I don't think I will be satisfied with two grey decals on the bootlid instead of something resembling proper dry brake fuel fillers.
Any ideas on getting some aftermarket?

Renaissance make a PE set. Used one on my Jaguar XJR-14 - worked a treat. Bought mine from MediaMix Hobby in Singapore, try their website.

Re: 1/24 Dry Brake fillers?

Ahh, I should have been more specific. The HR31 GTS-R, (and DR30 gr. A car, for what its worth) run two large separate fillers, on either side of the bootlid/deck lid/trunk lid. Those fuel fillers are nice, however they aren't quite what I'm after.
But I did find THESE on there, they are a bit closer to what I want anyway.

The Australian run Skylines used fillers very close to the 2nd set on this page.

Re: 1/24 Dry Brake fillers?

Thanks for that Mal!
Those are pretty damn good, I might order a couple of sets, Those will be ideal for when I start on doing a Gibson Motorsport/Nissan SVD version (and for a Peter Jackson DR30 I am planning)...

Sakatsu makes an amazing set of fillers that are separate.

I don't know if they are exactly what you're looking for, but they look fantastic.

Sorry to push this back up, but unfortunately I was a bit slow and that site is gone...Which is a pain as they had exactly what I wanted.
Anyone else have other ideas? I'm talking about the sort of dry brake fillers which you see on 80's touring cars, i.e. like the ones in the 635CSI gr. A kits.

Do you have any decent pics of what you're trying to simulate? Maybe another good option can be found.

The old site closed and they opened here. If you can't find them, they are called Modern Motorsports Nascar.

Excellent. Well, no hesitation this time, I've got a pile of group A touring cars to build so I've ordered a few!
