mk1 cab fuel filler neck

[ned]

Nice one Phil, thanks for that.  At least I've got a few avenues to try, if I get any success I'll be sure to let you all know. 

Update:
GSF Want £96 + VAT and it's not a stainless steel one but OE apparently
VW Stealers want either £136 or £115 + VAT depending on if its got some green bit at the top or something for unleaded

Gibby, mine is on its way out, two heads are better than one and also increases buying power reducing costs if we get then done at the same place, let me know how you get on.

i had one from sanburns coventry was told this would fit it is stainless steel i think but was a little long but now my my fuel cap sticks out what went wrong

you can buy a cheap mk2 filler neck around £27 its a heavier gauge material, you have to cut the mid section and apply two rubber sleeves to the neck instead of the one connecting to the tank, the rest bolts lines up to the fixings.

I've been reading a thread on the GSF website and someone was saying that the Golf mk1 filler neck was the same as a Scirocco mk2, only a bit longer. Is this correct? cos I wanna replace mine soon.

Not sure to be honest but I know for definite that the mk1 tintop is different to the mk1 cab but the mk1 tintop can be made to fit the mk1 cab. The mk1 tintop is also a hell of a lot cheaper.

Yeah, I think the tin top is the same one as the Scirocco's only longer as a rocco is lowerslung so the fuel pipe runs to the tank above the rear wheel = corrosion. I think new Mk1 filler necks are about £30 from GSF, so I'll ask them.

how would you fit the tin top type to the cab cause i think that is what is on mine and it sticks out at the cap needs adjusting but how

[gibby]

Not 100% sure, but I think that when it's first put in it should have been cut slightly in order for it to be fit properly.

I HAD MINE FROM GSF AND WE HAD TO BEND IT SLIGHTLY AT THE TANK END TO GET IT TO FIT BUT AFTER THAT IT WAS BANG-ON, I HAVE A 91 CLIPPER CAB, IF THE FILLER NECK IS RUSTED MAKE SURE YOU FISH OUT ALL THE BITS FROM THE TANK WITH A MAGNET.
