Another approach is to use a piece of 1/8" brass rod, bent into an "inch worm" shape, length about 3-4" long with the hump small enough to fit into the gas cap hole.
^ brass chain goes here.

You could also bend the triangle, fit it through, and un-bend it with 2 needle nose pliers.... J

I made a piece of triangular shaped metal too large to fit through the gas cap hole and attached a chain to the cap. Obviously this must be done before you install the upper strake, since the triangle has to be in the tank. Simple and works great

WOW ...Reading a reply to TEC from SB with grading of MT and about the MT and engine combinations...and there it was... a small gem off the topic but in the text I had forgotten about...."Gas Cap through a prop"....Any one chain them lil muthas down? I was thinking about doing that long time ago but almost forgot to ask the wise collective for input. I once looked in Aircraft-Spruce for idea and proper chain...no luck. I probably missed it in there somewhere.
Anyone have experience or ideas that you feel like sharing? I was thinking about putting down an aluminum hard point and using some sort of chain...brass? Aluminum? SS Cable? Ground it to filler ring/engine with the wire I am putting in?
First strake still open...but not for much longer. As always...thanks in advance to all for your help!
Best to all,
