Right in response to you pedants out there I knocked up a Mk2 - after all who sees it except my man when he's filling the tank .

Thanks - I have this same problem. I have sent payment for the drive belt. Any other bits I need? Or I guess this is all mentioned in the thread |

When you put your filler cap back on and twist to secure it, at the end of travel you should find “springiness” in the cap which I believe is to prevent over-tightening. The spring in question seems to be part of this mechanism.

Thanks for the info. This mod has already cost me Ł1 so I'll simply be careful and not over tighten I think. Otherwise I will need to splash out on a new smaller nut and bolt |

OK - spent Ł2 on proper size bolt and nut (well 10 of them), fitted the spring back in, much better now. |
