Aircraft Style Fuel Filler

Aircraft Style Fuel Filler
Yes, it opens and even has a detent so it latches closed and won't fall out.
The bolts are for mounting it. I made 10 even though it only needs 8, just in case... - Mark

Re: Blue Seven (Parts)

I assume you built this amazing little thing with your lathe. When all of this stuff comes together it's going to be a really amazing work.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how did you cut out the 'inside' of the larger piece? It looks machined to fit the other piece perfectly. Can a lathe cut inside of a piece like that? How?

Sorry for the questions from the 'machining-challenged' section....

No, not a dare, just for entertainment!!

The peices you create are just amazing...out of curiosity have you ever just misplaced one or lost one? I'm always flicking photoetched pieces around and I end up cursing as I search through the carpet floor!

Yes. With a boring tool. I cut the inside to the specs I wanted, then turned the plug to fit.

I wish it were only one. I have lost countless parts, both during machining, and by dropping them. I lost half of the clamp for neck of the nitrous bottle (coming soon...) I was making last Thursday, gave up looking and made a new set. I have lost one half of that new set three times, twice Friday and once this morning. Found it each time, but lost well over an hour total looking for it.
Now I make extra hardware often while I have it set up just in case... Hence the 10 bolts for the fuel filler when only 8 are needed.
Now I look for a bit, but not all that hard unless it's something large enough that I have a chance of finding, or something that would take a while to remake... - Mark

Wow, bolts a 1/16th long, eh? What diameter are they? Did you thread them, or are they press/glue fit? Did you put a hex head on each?

How does the latch work?
