Title: Where can I buy an oil filler lid sleeve/housing/spacer
Post by: Xtrhardcore on 26 June 2012, 11:08

Is there supposed to be a spacer under the oil filler lid to bring it up level with the engine cover? :shocked:

So the question has been answerd and on my AGN there is meant to be like a spacer of some sort, does anyone know where to get a replacement one from?  :undecided:

no spacer, if i read it right, just indented to rocker cover for the oil cap to sit in.

You get them on the PD's, but if you remove it the cap sits 90 degrees out of alignment IIRC
