is it worth seeing if Dave Howarth or Chris Parnham have a spare one anywhere?

Not sure on the parts x-ref tho, it might be a case of ferreting round a few scrap
yards with your old one to try and find a match.

Yes seems the answer Claire, closest I have come is a Honda Motorcycle Brake fluid cap but it had the Honda wing logo on it so didn't fancy that.

This is really funny, i was going to suggest the exact same thing last week, but didn't for fear of ridicule. Should always speak my mind, i guess is the lesson here. I was also going to suggest coffee jar lids too.

Damn why do I never catch a break, I only have marmalade in the cupboard...

hmmm now I'm thinking that the lid on a Marmite jar might be about the right size, if only I liked Marmite!

Marmite, you luv it or hate it. Tam treats it like chemical waste. :lol:

When I worked at Pilbeam's my mate in the machine shop was the CNC turning center guru. He knocked up a really nice aluminium oil filler cap for his Honda Civic complete with Honda logo. If you know someone with access to machine tools who could do you a favour, a nice custom cap with DMC logo could result.

In case of any confusion, it wasn't ACTUALLY a jam jar lid, but it was a pressed steel cap like you get on a jam jar... if you catch my drift.
