Driver Side Gas filler cutout

I did a gas tank relocation and no longer have the underseat tank. I want to cover the hole where the gas cap was. My sheet metal fab skills are pretty bad, was wondering if anyone has covered it with a bolt on plate or something that easily fits there.

 

You could cut a piece of sheetmetal and make it the same shape...then take some fancy headed bolts and secure it...or I suppose you could Jb weld something in place

 

There's nothing commercially available, that I know of, that will cover it. The panel for the filler neck fits into a D shaped hole in the side of the body, and is spot-welded into place. Look closely and you can see a dimple at each weld. If you drill or grind each spot weld, the filler panel will come out. Then you have to fill the hole. If I were going to do this with glue, I'd cut out a panel and use panel adhesive or something similar.

If you have a welder, you weld in a patch to fill the hole. Lots of discussion of this on the net.

 

Thanks for the tips guys, yeah that water tank looks like the way to go, I'm so glad for the link!
