Put on a Moroso brake cylinder cover to hide the plastic tank. Fits nicely for a cosmetic look. However, the GTH billet cap will not seal. Anyone else have this issue and what was the fix? I see the standard shelby cap seems to work. I would think they are similar.

check to make sure the cover is all the way down. Mine was a tight fit and once I checked to make sure the slots were clearing the wires, etc. I used a rubber mallet to gently tap it down. Once I did this the cap worked fine. Prior to, there was not enough thread exposed for the cap to tighten down and seal....Craig

I thought I had it down all the way, maybe not. I will re-check and try the suggestion.

Thanks. My last and other option is to enlarge the hole just a tiny bit to expose more threads.

I used a little silicone spray lube on the inside of the cover (or try on tank). Mine went on tight but the custom cap did fit in the end.

Just FYI, my cover seems very snug and will not go down any further. Do not want to force it.

To that end, I solved the fit problem by opening the hole about a 16th or so, cover fit nice, slight downward pressure snaped into place and the GTH billet cap fit nicely. Just in case someone else has a fitment issue.

Have a great Thanksgiving
