good idea.
What I ve done in the past with /5 gas caps (even more fragile) is cut a new
gasket from thick rubber gasket material (1/16) and cut the inner diameter
slightly smaller and at a (guesstimate) 45 degree angle from vertical. That
held it inplace and there was no leaking...even after a 45 mph wreck.
It could be that there is enough space beween the nut and the peening on the
bolt that the nut can be loosened for easier removal/install of the rubber
gasket.

The tank is blasted and the wiring is slowly coming along. Got the battery for 15 bux at WalMart. Questions: I fought with 2 gas caps before I figured out that I indeed have the flip up with lever cap type tank. Fortunately I had a sevicable one on a battered old tank I had. Popped that sucker in place after a quick run on the buffer....yowsa! One problem. There seems to be an 1/8" gap in the rubber gasket under the cap. It's on the left (downhill) side and if I put the bike on its side stand it will leak. It appears the the bolt under the cap is peened so you cant take the nut off. true? shoud that gasket have that gap? Are these caps rebuildable? I got the newer petcocks and adaptors from Moto International. You guys running these, do you need gaskets in the adaptors? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer athttp://explorer.msn.com --- Sponsor's Message -------------------------------------- Does Windows ME Work for You?
