Petrol Cap and Barrel

[Day1zero]

Evening All - brought the 350 CR out from slumber....started fine all is well - blast around the country lanes top up with fuel..........rotated the key and the whole barrel came out with the key (lucky all the blades stayed in the barrel) - looks like some plastic has broken within the cap. The barrel now rotates within the cap.

Do I need the cap and will be able to reinstate my barrel? Do you have any top tips on where I can get one?

@DH2 may have fitted one or two over the years!

Cheers - assuming S2 unit same as S3?

Sorry for the delay.  Yes, plastic clips broken in cap, you can retain the barrel and clip it into the new cap.

S2 and S3 are the same item.
