On my '67 +4, I couldn't figure out how to get the filler off the panel
(steel) when I had it apart for painting. It appeared that a flanged collar
around the filler neck on the underside of the panel was soldered to the
filler neck. No threads on the neck, and no rubber gasket in evidence,
either. We just cleaned the metal up to the edge and painted.
Please don't tell me I'm too dense to maintain a Morgan, but this thing
really baffled me. However, that didn't stop me from getting the car back
on the road and enjoying its bumpy ride!
