   Received the following email from Rodney Kettel.. ..  ..  AE49 .
   
   
   Keith.
   
   Good to chat and thanks for info.  I have been onto the AC Owners' web site and Forum but was unable to locate required topic-must be my lack of computor skills!!.
   
   So could you please put me down as an interested party for
   2 caps.  As mentioned the diameter of my present fuel fillers are 2.75" and they simply screw onto the neck which connects inot the tube which goes into the petrol tank. I will await details to find out if the "new" fillers are suitable.
   
   Good to chat and enjoy  Goodwood Revival.
   
   Best Wishes

   Hi to you all........... Thank you for being patient..[;)]
   
   Quick update,  Progress is slow, But we have progress.
   received the following email upon my return from Business trip to Bologna  &  Modena.
   
   
   
   Good afternoon Keith,
   
   I have now had word back from the casting company regarding these caps and latches.
   
   They are saying that for larger quantities they would need multiple patterns producing. I've phoned them to clarify what is classed as a larger quantity but it seems the man I need to speak to is on holiday until Monday.
   I suppose when I first discussed it with them we were talking about 20off but as time has progressed it's turned into 200off.
   They are going to get a rough quote from a pattern makers for the multiple patterns and let me know.
   
   I'm afraid I can't estimate the cost of a pattern but let's say it could add £20-£30 per part onto the price. I shall keep you updated with any information I gain.
   
   Best Regards
   
   Chris Smallman
   Quality Engineer.
   .
   .
   
   Hopefully by end of next week we have positive movement and I can view a finished casting prior to chrome plating, then confirm pricing (inc p&p plus vat) and arrangements for payment in the most economic way irrespective of Country & currency. (Orders from 10 Countries).
   
   Cheers for Now..
