I don't know who made your drop tank but every reputable manufacturer makes drop tanks to fit your standard filler. Can't say I ever saw a drop tank where a filler had to be custom made. Check yours as you might find yours fits as well.

Use your filler neck, cut it off your tank.

 

Joint it to the drop tank with a rubber hose & hose clamps.

 

Make sure the hose is fuel compatable.

This may be obvious to some, however... you don't want any sparks when cutting that filler neck off your original tank, particularly if you still have fuel/fuel vapours in it. I filled my old tank with water after emptying it of fuel to be sure it didn't go bang, and wetted it down as I cut, but I am anal about such things. Check the angle of the droptank join first too, it can make it easier/harder if you do/don't get it right.

Yes that is the way to do it, if I remember correctly Brown Davis even supplies that little bit of hose with clamps to fit standard filler neck with every drop tank they sell.
