Mine is from here. https://www.classicaircraftautoinc.com/about-us. Jim is a great guy. I made mine functional by modifying the stock filler neck and using a modern fill cap. Going to make a mounting plate to go under the deck, but works fine now using the stock mounting holes.

Really nice set up. How is the flange mounted to the body as I cannot see any visible screws?

Does this flange palate cover the finger divot, or did you fill it in on the body?

It uses the stock 4 screw mounts right now, but seems plenty sturdy as is. I removed the thumb hole before paint, although I think it would cover it.
