     Any good boat parts place should have various sizes of fuel tank 
     filler hose... be sure to get late manufacture stuff that will 
     tolerate high alcohol content gasoline.  
     
     Good luck...

Listers,
     
I'm still fighting the issue I'd raised earlier:  none of the vendors 
sell new fuel filler necks (the rubber "tube" that connects the filler 
cap to the tank) for the GT6 Mk III.
     
The original is roughly a 1 3/4" Inner Diameter tube about 7 inches long 
with about a 30 degree bend in the middle.
     
I've had several people offer to check parts yards, for which I am truly 
grateful.  However, any parts yard filler neck is likely to be close to 
25 years old!!
     
Does anyone have a source other than the ones I've tried (SICP, VB, TRF, 
Rimmer, Racers Wholesale)?  Or does someone have an alternate (Ford 
"fill in the model" filler neck can be cut down, etc?)?
     
Or alternatively, if I can find an alternate solution to the factory 
part, what interest would there be from fellow listers?  If I can 
convince a racing supplier that there is enough demand to justify 
stocking or fabricating the part... it'd be a big help.
     
     
TIA
     
Jim
