Nick & Angie at Cycle Haven in Lincoln used to sell weld-in filler necks. I've bought them from there in the past anyway.
The last address I've got for them is
Boundary Street,
Lincoln,
LN5 8NJ

01522-543492.

I know they moved though & can't remember if this is the old shop I visited or their new address. Nick's lovely little XS1100 Yam trike's the one that first inspired me to get on 3 wheels.

That's handy Wynne. That means you could fit one of those nice pop-up flush-fit caps by welding in the screw neck fitting on the right.
