Probably but holes aren't in the main neck part, just the collar but the breather has snapped off too. Currently we are doing a lot of repairs ready for MOT so we have pulled it off the road for a couple of weeks.

My breather came off in my hand. If you work out a way to patch it up, let me know...

seems it is a common problem, make a breather from a bit of 6mm copper, easy to bend, then clean up the rust and wrap it in two layers of fibre glass, bonding the breather as you go,Rick

When you do remove the filler neck watch you don't introduce a load of crap into the rubber hose going to the tank.

Will see what mines like when it's had a tickle from the wirebrush.

That's not too bad, I reckon that would clean up OK, remove it and wire brush with as much force as you determine necassary and paint/waxoyl it
