I found that this cap has a fine thread, which will be problematic if i was ever in a rush. Next time I would get a 1/4 turn cap. Then again I have heard that the 1/4 turn caps have a tenancy to loosen themselves :shock: Maybe this one isnt so bad

Bought a similar one on eBay from the U.S but mine is a 7 hole like my standard one!

Had to put the original rubber seal on as well as the ones provided to seal it down and stop the vapours!
