Re: [VAL] Water fill cap.

    Tom, Gerald and all,

    Thanks for all the great ideas everybody.

    I just went out and looked again in daylight (amazing what a difference
that makes ;  - ) and measured the very neat one-piece cast aluminum flange
and standpipe.  It's a 1 3/32" diameter pipe by my tape measure standards
with 10 threads per inch.  That said, there are slightly more than 1/2" of
threads cut into it so I multiplied a good 1/2" section at five threads, top
to top and doubled that.  I did notice that the safety chain is clearly not
factory and that one end is secured to the flange by means of one of the
four screws that hold the flange to the outer skin.

    Tom, would you mind taking a few measurements of your cap and passing
that information my way?  A photo too maybe?  Armed with that and the
standpipe, I'll go to my favorite machine shop and have him cut a cap for me
at $60/hr., ouch!  

    Any other takers out there want to get in on this?

    Regards,

    Glyn
