Fuel filler neck
I'm reaching out to the masses for a bit of help sourcing a part. I'm after a fuel filler neck, similar to this;
eBay Item
But with a 40mm internal, 55mm external diameter. I can see 60mm and upwards, but not smaller. Is there some dark mysterious part of 'the
internet' where such a neck can be sourced?
I've actually 3D printed one and it works really well, but I have no idea how I could prove to the IVA inspector that it would be safe. And
I'm not convinced 3D prints are considered leak-proof.

Ignore that last comment, while PETG appears to be able to hold water it's unable to hold any solvent, so it's not an option for this task.
I could start venturing into sealing it with epoxy or similar coating, but it looks like I'm back to finding a regular old metal one.

Fuel Filler
A log time ago I bought a filler neck along the lines that you want from
Compbrake.com which I was satisfied with.

I've managed to find one, it's actually off a Royal Enfield. It's meant to be welded into the tank but I can just do the same on to the
end of some 2 inch pipe to mount it on the car. I did mould one out of JB weld, it was certainly an interesting experiment although I've no idea
about it's strength or longevity.
