With the fuel cap fitting properly, we can fit the tank trim. This is a long strip of chromed brass which covers up two weld seams and the tank mounting. I have two - a very poor original one, and a shiny chrome one I bought cheaply on eBay which doesn't fit very well.
This is the dodgy one.
The strip is made with a simple fold at the rear; it hooks under a bar welded to the back of the tank:
Once you have it under there, it helps if you push the seat all the way forward in it's mounting lugs and bolt it up tight. This holds the shiny chrome strip in position and will stop it coming out while you fasten the front, with two screws into the Spire clips ahead of the filler cap:
You'll need to remove the damper knob to get at the screws.
