What cover are you referring to?... The only thing I can think of is the round part that is attached to the yoke.... Mine was attached but how I don't know.

Its the cup shaped cover that is behind the yoke and fits over the seal.....Mine spins on the housing and can come into contact with the yoke so I wondered if it would present a problem....

Hey Wade.   After you said yours was attached.............I went out this morning and tapped the cover towards the yoke and it is a pressure fit.  Now it is secure and I feel better about driving again.   You know how some simple things just keeps the learning curve open............. :bananasmi :bigsmile:

Still  have the gas tank patch holding.......probably next spring.........to do that one.
