Re: locking gas cap assembly

OK, I think I have it figured out. I am missing the "C" clip in Slash2's foto (thanks for that detailed image Slash2), I assume it broke and blew the cap apart. Also the bolt going through the middle of the cap is broken, I assume it was sheared when PO attempted to take off the frozen nut...

locking gas cap assembly

I received a bag of parts for a locking gas cap and am looking for some instruction on reassembly.
