  • Petrol Filler Pocket Advice Needed.

    My petrol Filler Pocket has completely fallen apart and I need to make a new one. In the body repair manual it says that it is fixed with 9 resistance spot welds but how can I get at them and where the hell are they?

    I want to take what's left and make a Marquette and mold a new one from fiberglass. Has anyone done this before as I will be flying blind. I need to know:
    How the part can come out.
    is it against the law to use fiberglass for this type of component?

    Cheers
    S

    Access is very tricky to drill out the original spot welds. Usually most people will simply cut them out and bond in a new replacement using sikaflex or similar. No issues from using fibreglass or bonding in this bit as it isn't structural at all.

        I believe they did. I think it was either mg or triple m club for about £70 each. I have two maestro's so it is about time I started making things rather than wasting time trying to find them on line.
