 |
|
Does anyone have a photo of the M38 fuel cap guard fitted to the side panel?
Mine sits up at an angle, so the top of the guard sits close to the fuel cap. Is this correct, or should it sit out parallel to the body, like this:
Like I said, mine is angled up towards the filler neck, but Bubba might have got there before me. 
Thanks in advance,
Owen.

Owen, mine is 90 deg to the tub as in your drawing. However it is
not level front to rear with it rising aprox 1" front to aft.

Wow, that was fast! Thanks Rick.
Time for the propane torch's powers of persuasion.

Ummm.. Be sure to remove the fuel cap guard and take it far from the
fuel tank before lighting the torch!!

Good safety tip. I don't fancy being a rocket-propelled jeep owner.
