Cabby fuel filler neck

Change fuel neck mk1 golf cabby, hi dose anyone know if this will fit my, Mk1 Golf Caberiolet 1989 Karmann, this is the second pipe now, other one was to short.
Thanks,

This looks like a tintop one, cabby ones are the shorter ones, you sure you didn't just need a longer bit of hose?

Tintop ones don't sit flush on the cap side.

I changed mine for a proper caby one after the previous owner had fitted a tintop one. I had to buy a longer bit of hose to join to the tank.

Can i mod this one to fit…..?..
Thanks

you can, but the fuel cap will be wonky, id get the proper one.

Yes that's a tintop filler neck, you can get them to fit but they need a section cut out and the end re welded on.
I had no problems with the filler cap end fitting, it's no different to the original one fitted.
I did read you could bend the tintop one to fit but you can't as I tried that 1st.
Cabriolet filler necks are availed but they are pricy compare to tin top ones, about 3 or 4 times the cost!

Have a look at my thread as I fitted a tin top filler neck last year.  https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/forum/index.php?page=topicview&id=projects%2Fyour-mk1-golfs_2%2Fmy-daily-drive-1988-gti&kfs79=120

Buy a new rubber hose between the filler neck and tank as they go brittle over time and 2 new jubilee clips is also a good idea.
Plenty of protection on the new filler neck will make it last a lot longer.

I did this a few years back on my cabby, I used the tin top, cut and bent it. It fits and works fine and I've been under the car recently and all still looks well. I wouldn't recommend it though, as you have to bend the pipe to such an extent it's not far from breaking. Oh, and no issues at the cap end either.
