Oil cap cover

[papanorm]

I removed the left side cover to be able to install my aux power port. Had to pull the oil dipstick. When I put everything back the oil cover wouldn't seat until I turned the dipstick to this position. I thought I was not going to be able to reinstall it at all. Crazy!!

I had carrot cake this morning...

When challenges such as this occur, remember to tell yourself that someone was able to put it together correctly before you then took it to pieces.
So this is confirmation that it can be both assembled and disassembled.
So it's all the proof you need when you come across assembly difficulties.... best stop and have a break....drink a brew of some kind....scratch your head....back track your memory during disassembly and try again.
Usually works for me, and I don't eat carrot cake.

That rim only goes back one way (offset from the radius line), but my drama was all the wiggling to get the darn cover back on!

Triumph technicians quite early on in their training, go on a special wiggling course.

I read it somewhere on the internet, so it must of course be true

In my mind it was a too tall dipstick handle and too shallow of a cap. Standing on my head could not fix it either.

Just wait until you remove that radiator cap. That engineer was valedictorian of his class.
