I managed to do mine fairly easily, if what a bit bodgy.
I cut out a 4-5cm section of filler neck that has the flap in it out of a later model celica, and shoved this into the middle of a 10-12cm section of that really fat filler neck rubber hose.
Then I chopped out a section of my filler neck, approx 4-5cm (obviously nice & close to the filler cap), and shoved the rubber hose with the flap in it so the section of flap replaced the bit I cut out, & the rubber hose becomes a sleeve over the joins. A couple of big hose clamps either end, and if you use old hose & clamps only a celica nut would pick it as being different to standard.
Does anyone understand that? 
The best way would be to remove the neck completely from the car & have a flap welded in, but hey, I didn't have a welder at the time.
