Terry,
The 'new' rubber hose and clamps are fitted from below, or the clamps can be
below and the hose passed through them from above. Then from above the 'new'
rubber grommet is installed, then the whole cap assembly is installed
through the grommet and the hose clamps tightened from below. It looks tough
but once you get the hose and clamps on the neck of the tank, the rest is
easy.
YMMV and good luck!

Subject: [TR] Gas tank cap assembly
Hello, everyone. Today's the day I'm asking a ton of questions.
I had intalled the gas tank, but not the rubber hose, clamps, and screw on
assembly, upon which all the chrome cap sits atop.
Is only the chrome cap assembly above the body of the car, or is the metal
extension also fitted from above? If it's supposed to go underneath the
body
shell, how the heck does anyone manage to get it installed? I've completely
disassembled the fuel tank, tried installing it everywhichway. Can't be
done!
...well, until one does it and finds out that everyone else has been doing
it
since australeopithecenes ruled.
