| + | If you need a modded oil cap with a hose fitting for testing purposes, a rubber stopper can be modified to work. \\ | ||
| + | The one below was modified to fit inside a 1998 Sportster oil tank (hole is tapered, app. 1.274" to app. 1.224"). \\ | ||
| + | A rubber stopper can be purchased at local hardware stores. The one below was bought from Lowes. \\ | ||
| + | The Hillman 4.6" black neoprene hole plug (taper 1-3/8" x 1-3/16") will work by simply drilling a hole through the center of it. \\ | ||
| + | However, if it can't be found, the Hillman 1-5/8" x 1-5/16" x 1" can be slimmed down to work. \\ | ||
| + | It is actually too big and the smallest part of the taper is all you can get into the oil cap hole. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The 1-5/8" plug was used below. See the before and after pic below. The plug will go in the hole but not very far. \\ | ||
| + | It is possible to simply hold it into the tank since it will go. But the one below was shaved to allow hands free operation. \\ | ||
