Brian-
The problem with mine is that although,it fits, it feels too small...the lip
of the cap won't go down over the edge of the filler neck. It'll close ok
but will not seal at all. I'm going to make it fit one day, but have a bad
case of sittus on assus going on right now.
I did wire up turn signals and get inspected today tho'.
Hope this helps.

Thanks to myTopica, I can find what I want, when I want it." So can you. http://click.topica.com/caaabBCb1dfltb2tZVva/register ============================================================ Chris and Jay, Thanks for giving me those tank filler dimensions. Now I am a little stumped, as you will see... I got my '74 disk-brake Eldo last fall. It had a tach and speedo, civilian crashbars and sidestand, but had police handlebars and a screw-on gas cap. I assumed that the gas tank was a police item until the previous owner sent me some parts he had, which included a civilian gas cap. I assumed that this would fit, and went ahead and had it re-chromed along with everything else. However, when I got it back, it seemed like it was too small, which made me think that the tank was a police item, as I had heard that they had larger openings. The outside diameter of the filler opening on my tank is also about 2 3/8 inches, but the civilian cap I have is just a little too small. Its diameter is just a hair smaller than the screw-on cap I have. So now I need to find out if I have a civilian tank which is just a hair too large. Chris, is this the same problem that you have, with your civilian cap not fitting right? This could be resolved if someone could tell me the exact outside diameter of the filler on the police tank. Can anyone help? Thanks, Brian Murphy '74 Eldo '78 T3 Chris Berry wrote:
