REFLECTOR: loose fuel caps

[vance atkinson via Reflector]

The pictures I posted about the fuel cap and anti-fuel-cap-losing device 
(wedge) does not require ANY glassing , if your are just going to add 
the chain and wedge.  I was sick and tired of the stock caps leaking 
fuel (and water) so bought some much better quality ones which required 
refitting and glassing around hole.

If you just add the chain and wedge, all you need to do is design a "T" 
or "wedge" like mine so that it slips thru the fuel hole opening 
sideways ( barely) and with the chain in the center of the T or wedge,  
the wedge cannot be pulled out.
