Thanks to Charlie Mullendore of Antietam Classic Cycle for sending me his description and information via e-mail. In Charlie's own words:

Whittled this out in about 12 hour last night. All from scrap I had laying around, except the bolt and sealing washer.

The aluminum top has a recess cut into it for the 18 inch thick rubber gasket, the u-shaped piece clamps into the underside of the filler neck, the bolt has a sealing washer on it to prevent a leak there.

Hopefully once it's in place and clamped down, there should be no way for the MEK (that I'll be using inside to remove the failed POR-15) to find it's way out.
