Evo 9 Fuel Filler Neck - Replacement Options?

I recently started smelling gas in the garage and saw fuel leaking around the filler neck near the rear subframe.

Since a replacement isn't available from Mitsu, has anyone had any luck figuring out an aftermarket alternative? From what i've searched, the RockAuto part listing may not be the right part. I see that Ross Sport has some available in the UK, but i'd rather not pay $400 for a stock fuel neck to be shipped here.

I just replaced mine. I bought it off ebay used. Ross Sport is the only option for new I believe. It's an easy job. Locating a replacement is the hard part. GL

My next stop was eBay actually, i've had some good luck finding random parts i've needed in the past. The other option my shop offered is to fab something up out of stainless and patch the sensors, etc back in. I really want to give the RockAuto neck a shot, but i'm not sure how much i trust their return policy if it doesnt work....

I think I might have those pieces. I was just going to throw it away. Post up the part that you need so I can get a better idea of all the pieces you need to it.

STM still has it on their website and shows it as discontinued.

The hose between the neck and tank is discontinued as well.

Were not sure yet exactly what part of the neck assembly failed. I’m waiting on some coilovers to be delivered before we tear down again.

if you have any of the parts shown in the Ross sport link below, don’t throw them away!

Would a 2003 Evo 8 have the same filler neck as this? Are the ones on Ross Sport compatible with a US evo 8?
