Tec Bike Parts Monza Fuel Cap.

Is there a seperate threaded collar that goes inside the tank neck the cap screws on to that??
if so you have to line position of the inner threaded collar and the cap right
take a look at the 3rd post from the top here
if so beware the fine thread...its a finger stripper

 

Sounds like the usual crap standards for TeC stuff
I'd send it back for a refund, don't want leaking fuel on any bike!

 

My experience of Tec parts is not good either so I tend to agree. Phone them first though and see if they have an answer to your problem.

 

looking at the tec website it looks like a 2 part one like mine, the cap screws off the bit that screws into the tank, so you should be able to get it to line up

 

Did you get the £60 or £30 one? The £30 doesn’t come woth an adapter but the £60 one does

 

So the £60 fits..... and the £30 does'nt (bin job)

 

So you bought bought the £60 that should fit .... but doesn't??
Aren't TeC great

 

Ok so you’ve got 2 parts the cap and the threaded adapter that goes into the tank? Did you get a couple of large cork Washers? These are spacers of different thickness. That go between the cap and the tank I used only one of them to line it up right. Mine were taped to the outside of the box. If you didn’t get any you could make your own and experiment. Or try screwing it in a 1/4 of a turn further back

 

Pleased to hear you got sorted my experience with TEC has been good but there are a few who dont share the majorities opinion...still its a free country (ish)

 

Certainly sounds a lot better than my experience!
"Like it or lump it" comes to mind!
As you say, everyone has an opinion!

 

Don't let it bother you too much, we've all been there and done that. I will even venture to say that I will be there again soon. It's just being human! Glad you have that sorted.

 

looks like a Monotone Monza cap is the way to go!!

 

I started with a TEC Monza cap (which has a grub screw locking thingamyjig) but still couldn’t get it to line up how l wanted and give a secure seal, so it went in the ‘not sure what to do with’ drawer.
I then went for a Motone straightforward screw on billet cap (in black). Looks great.
Btw l’ve had several TEC parts and have generally been impressed with the quality, considering their price. You get what you pay and all that jazz.
