    Thumbs down Radiator Cap is a real Pistol

    How many of you have taken the cap off? Hard coming off, even harder getting it back on. I have small hands but it was still tough getting it up under to get a grip on the cap. Probably the brain child of an evil BRP engineer!

    Default Bugger of a tight fit...

    Learned that I need to wear a tight glove so not to scratch the out of the back of my hand! Still tough to do!
