Friday 5th August (20.18)
   
   Nice to hear from you William and catch up.  Look after that 289 of yours.
   
   Dear Keith
   
   Following our brief chat this evening I am just e-mailing you as agreed to register my intention to purchase through the Club one fuel tank filler cap that you are having reproduced.
   
   I understand that no firm price has been agreed with the manufacturer but costs will be kept as low as possible for members.
   
   It was good to catch up and thank you very much for organising this on behalf of members.
   
   I was glad to hear that your son is now fully recovered.
   
   I look forward to hearing from you when things have moved closer to manufacture.
   
   Kind regards
   
   William..  ..[;)].

   Will,
   Thank you for your email confirming intent to buy a fuel filler cap for the 289.

   Richard,
   Good to see you getting in on this as I think your initial inquiry was the catalyst for this to get going.
   Keith,
   Thanks for your continuing effort to keep this going.

   Richard  &  Jay...
   
   Stepping in to offer assistance to Richards initial thread on  29th May and Jays response of 30th May,  Who would have thought so many of our AC colleagues worldwide would have responded in such a  positive manner.
   
   I simply thought my assistance on this side of the pond would have resulted in orders for  a dozen or twenty fuel filler caps, instead we are now over One Hundred and Forty (140) units. for destinations in England, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Switzerland, Holland and Austria.
   
   Thank you Richard and Jay, it has proved both a education and experience, I do enjoy a challenge and will continue to see it through to the end.
   
   As stated earlier, The Impossible I can do,  Miracles take a bit Longer........[;)].
   
   Will keep you all informed of developments.  Keep them orders coming in...   ...
   
   Last but not least, It proves the ACOC Forum works to / for the benifit of AC Owners, ACOC Members and Enthusiasts alike.
   
   Long may it continue..[;)]

9th August 2011
   
   Latest Update reference Manufacturing of Our Period Fuel Caps.
   
   Received the following email from  Chris at  Ceandess :-
   
   
   Good afternoon Keith,
   
   I thought I’d better give you an update on the filler cap so far.
   
   I have so far spent approx. two day fettling an existing cap. The rib across the centre of the cap is dimensionally correct to the original now. It is far more defined than on our current production caps.
   
   Much of my time has been taken up attempting to reproduce the keyhole shape. I have filled the existing rectangular slot with body filler and then proceeded to file/scrape/mill/linish/sand/grind the filler until the keyhole shape is close the AC original. This is unfortunately very time consuming as it is easy to remove too much filler and end up having to start almost from scratch which of course means re-filling the hole , waiting for it to harden and then continuing.
   
   I apologise if I seem to be dragging my feet somewhat with it but it is a very high priority for myself and the company to get this master sample correct. As you know, any error in this master will be re-produced in aluminium by the casting company so I believe the extra time is well spent to get it right.
   
   Once I’m happy with the master I’ll get a price from the casting company to add into our quoting program. I’ll also need you to approve the master.
   
   I hope this is all satisfactory.
   
   Best Regards
   
   Chris Smallman
   Quality Engineer
   
   
        ****************************************************.
   .
   
   To all interested parties;
   
   Once I have sight and approve quality and accuracy we can proceed. Keep you posted as things develop.
   
   Cheers for Now
   
   Keith..[:)]..[:)]
