A quick job my ar$e!
My second hand replacement petrol cap arrived from Ebay.
But there was a slight technical problem as the fitting tube was not smooth like mine.
So I drifted out the pivot pin from the replacement cap and fitted the new rubber seal.
( The fitting of which caused all these problems in the first place.
)
There was no way to get at the pivot pin with the old cap in position, so that had to come out.
( Don't look at the mess all the petrol spills have made of the paintwork.
)
I also needed to transplant this catch spring from the old cap to the new one, which didn't have one.
Now I could fit join the new cap to the original tube and I was good to go.
By the time I had finished fitting the cap, it looks like the rain clouds were coming.
Unfortunately, I was so distracted by the clouds it appears I didn't take a take photo of the cap in place.
But if it helps, it looks just like the old one, but now everything works properly.
End of Part 1…
