Header globe tank cap from Jcaps across the pond in the U S of A. Black anodised alu and not cheap but nice quality. The nasty looking blue plastic oem cap is a real eye-sore imo.

Check it all out at our next Hampshire meet :drinking:

RR, the dipstick would have a conical seat, and be tightened into place, it would require unscrewing to check levels.  The Sight-glass method is ok, but perhaps over-complicating the system?

I like Forge products, they are well made and functional.  I think given the size of the can, height could be a problem with a dip-stick.

Good piece of kit, not 100% but very very good.  Good shot of the sight-glass and seal assembly.

Yep, I agree - Forge are sometimes limited by their manufacturing machines and methods and this sometimes results in their products appearing 'over-engineered'. But personally I prefer overdone to underdone (except when referring to meat and veg). I'm also learning that Forge's products are popular with the show 'n shine folks.

And yes, definitely not enough height below the bonnet for a dipstick.

Also, I agree still not absolutely perfect on the sight-glass visibility but nonetheless acceptably functional in practice and very difficult, if not impossible, how to position it at higher level without seriously compromising the functionality of the tank itself.
