    Of all parts, I'm having trouble finding a gas cap that fits. I have a brand new tank, and every cap I try from any aftermarket parts place, the tabs that lock into the tank are set at too small of a diameter, so the cap just spins and won't lock into place. I've tried every cap that looks remotely close to it and nothing works. Kaiserwillys and any of these other places sell a cap they claim "fits"...should I assume it would be different. Anyone else had a problem?

    That's pretty much identical to the one MTS sells.

    Ok, that's the one I saw online. Thanks! Much different than the one any parts places sell. Why do they all have it wrong I wonder?
