Locking fuel filler door
Just a note on the fuel door. The instructions which Khan put up are excellent; I used them myself. One thing though. Instead of using the plastic tee piece, which requires melting the tubing, I picked up a solid rubber piece from the dealer which is a much easier job. The vacuum tubing in my
car ( '97 GLX) is hard plastic. Very hard to heat and reshape, but perfect for pushing into the rubber
tee. The part # was 447-711-758. After I bought that, I went to Pep Boys and picked up a solid rubber
coupler. That way, I was easily able to join the vacuum tubing from the tee to the actual valve, which came with a short piece of (stiff) tubing attached to it. I don't have a number for that, sorry. Just a note to idiot proof this: to use the rubber piece, first you must remove the existing tee. Hope that didn't sound condescending. Anyway, just my .02. Follow Khan's great instructions, and good luck.
