Early 266 oil tank vent?

[Bob Hedgecutter]

Just did a case swap on that eaten up 61 I got with the old 266 dual coil cases I found- straight swap...... yeah right!

But anyhow, the oil tank cap was missing from the donor 266 tank and it appears to be a whole lot smaller than any spare caps I have laying about, including the one off the busted 61.
Did not look real hard, but there is no vent between the bar studs- the one with the stiff tubing and roll pin affair, so I am guessing I need to find a small cap with inbuilt venting ability?

Did the case half not have a little brass plug with a duckbill behind it?

Maybe this...?

Nope, not one of those either.

The vented cap from my 444SE fits it, so I just discovered.
The real old school ones that have a bit of bathroom plug chain and a split ring affair to stop you loosing the cap.

This one fits the case- only going off a previous owners say that they were 266, could they have been 162? Old silver tag was null of any descriptions bar the remains of some of the stamped serial number- I removed it and transferred over the black 61 tag.
