Default Stock fuel cap/ flange alternative?
I am constructing the wings of my RV-7 and would like to install locking fuel caps on the tanks. Has anyone installed a flange and cap different than the ones that came with the kit? If so, what did you install and are you happy with your decision?

Thanks in advance,

I installed the "delux" caps that Van's sells. Not flying yet, but very happy with how they turned out. Have spoken with many others who feel the same.

Default Deluxe Locking Fuel Caps
Brad Oliver's website (http://www.rv7factory.com/log/060731.html) has photos showing installation of the deluxe caps.

Mine just arrived with the wing kit-great workmanship.
