[QUOTE="oscar, post: 169418, member: 2757"] Finally finnished! i set aside some time to do this today, boss watched over me in amazement didn't understand what i was doing but hey ho. so i basically cut out the threaded section on the mugen cap where it would screw into the honda rocker cover / filler neck and then grinded it flush (who in the actual hell is EVER going to see the underside of my oil cap? i can assure you, it's not pretty). I then had two options, rough both surfaces up and arrowdite them together which was my bosses suggestion, to me that just seemed plain dodgy. I went with my original idea of 2x M4 allen head bolts, drilled into the flush surface and tapped the two M4 holes and cut the two little bolts to size. you don't need to see the underside of it, it's not pretty ;) just know that it's absolutely planted on solid and that you cannot see any damage other than greasy finger marks and a few silly ''ooops, should have put a rag when i clamped it on the vice'' marks!!!!! say hello to frankenstein guys... [img]https://s23.postimg.org/52p8t9lqz/IMG_20140604_171541.jpg[/img] that's not daylight you can see guys, it sits flush with the top black plastic of the filler neck. it's a grinding mark, war wound if you will!
