CB350F Fuel cap

That loose washer sits behind the seal and pushes the seal onto the tank filling hole

Finally got the sod of a rubber on. What a struggle that was. Managed to develop a technique though, "Swear a lot, get red faced and throw a baby tantrum". Well it seemed to work for me.  ;D

Good job I didn't need a key Bullit, or I would probably have opened it with a hammer. ??? ???

You will need to drill off the ends of the rivets that hold both the cap and the lock, then push the rivets out. Should all lift off together. You can buy the new rivets and lock from DSS.

Bryanj:
That thin "loose" washer goes into the groove in the seal or the seal will just fall out, original locks have no key just a thumb catch which was replaced by a keyed lock assembly, any key fits, at the Yanks insistance

royhall:
O bugger. I did it the way Mike said with the washer behind the seal not in the groove. To make matters worse the cap is now rivetted on. The seal doesn't appear to be loose in any way though. It definitely isn't falling off? :(
