what kind of tank cap does this tank use> 1978 gs750e hinged mechanism with a spring?
Hello,
im restoring a 12 year shed stored 750e and if finally got it running with the help of a dyna ignition system, now im moving onto the tank. Its externally in ok condition just a few rust bubbles, and internally is nothing a little electrolysis and hydrochloric acid wont clean up, but its missing the cap lid, and it seems to have a strange lid mechanism. in front of the petrol hole, there is a indent with a lip and a spring, behind it is a pair of bolt holes, as if they held on some kind of two part flip top cap piece, where the cap my flip open towards the front of the tank and rest on the spring. i cant find any such cap on the internet or ebay, only one piece push down caps.
does anyone recognise what kind of cap this is meant to have and where i can get one from? photo is attached.
thanks!
