Fuel Filler door option

GraficO · Nov 21, 2007

I got these today... VERY slick.

These are locking (special ordered 2 with the same lock... so only one key for both)

They fit perfectly in the stock filler holes and the mounting screws even fit the stock pattern for 3 of em (you'll have to drill 3 more)

I was going to fab in 77 fuel doors... but I think this is the hotter ticket.

Not exactly cheap... but a VERY clean look for EB.

Very nice, interested in info. Doing mine wasnt cheap in the long run either. Honda CB-1 tank graft.

I just found it too.

A lock on the fuel filler will become highly desireable next year when gas hits $4 and more per gallon.

Dad's 73 · Nov 21, 2007

How about a picture of them installed?

A guy on another forum I visit had the thieves crawl under his truck and cut the rubber filler neck hose and stuck the siphon tube through that.

He made a 30 second video of the damage.

I got these from B.A.T. Inc.
http://www.batinc.net/aero.htm

they were a bit pricey 100 bones + but they were the only dealer/mfg that I could find that would match the locks on two of em

Thats what a few of the guys on here have installed.
What did you pay for the ones you got?

GraficO · Nov 21, 2007

the neck is 2" O.D. on these

GraficO · Nov 21, 2007

Cost was $119.00 each + $10.88 freight from U.K.

GraficO · Nov 21, 2007

my rig is in the body shop right now... so I can't do a photo installed.... but I put it in the hole... there is about 1/8" slop in the hole... but the 3 screw holes lined up perfect-O... just drill 3 more and you're set.

BAT had backing rings too that I think were tapped for the Allen head screws it came with instead of using just the cork gasket and the screw/nut... I didn't get those though...

There were a MASS BUY on these Aero Fuel Doors a few years ago and a bunch of members got in on it......... Here is the thread............

And this thread has some installed pics......

Sweet, thanks, how did you make the elbow connection, with a 90 degree hose or cut and weld the stock filler neck and use straight hose? Or all fuel hose to the tank (as flexible as it is tho...)

Here's mine - Kawasaki - had to fab a backing plate/latching mechanism.

Yea really when you consider buying a new bike just to use the tank. %) I bought a '77 Bronco just to cut out the gas doors for my '74.
