Hi Steve. The Z3 has a plastic tank and filler neck. The filler neck is fitted with a steel ring which the cap locks into. The ring can be removed with a pair of mole grips after drilling out one pop rivet from a small retaining strap. This leaves you with a neck that is 63mm OD and 55mm ID.

CBS have sold some of our Kobra customers a "kit" of parts to extend the filler neck, which I believe consists of flexi hose, an alloy sleeve that fits inside the Z3 neck, epoxy to glue the sleeve in, hose clips, a cap of your choice.
