Hi Guys,
I am going to change the old pitted cap for one of the shiney new ones mentioned on here.
I have a couple of questions for anyone who has already done it.
1) To remove the assembly it looks like you remove the 4 phillips screws visible when you open the cap. Mine just turn and turn as if they have a nut on the back or are stripped. I cannot feel a nut from inside the boot. Any ideas?
2) Part of the old cap has to be refitted to the new one - namely the seal assembly. On the old one the cap has been flattened (like a rivet) to secure the seal assembly. The new one is stainless steel(?) and I assume hard to flatten. I am looking for ideas on this one, I considered the obvious clips but dont want one coming loose and falling into the tank. What have other owners used?
Thanks,
Steve.

Got a bit more time for a measured responce Last S4 said: 1) To remove the assembly it looks like you remove the 4 phillips screws visible when you open the cap.

Nuts are hidden by stuck on carpet trim you just need to peel away to get a 10mm(?) spanner on the nuts they are nylocs and will drop and disappear if your not careful - buggers to put back on. I wish I had bought new Stainless bolts

The new one is stainless steel(?)mazak a zink alloy and I assume hard to flatten.no dead easy quite soft, you can hold cap in your hand and hammer flat I am looking for ideas on this one, Ring me if you have an problems
