1 7/8" screw-on petrol cap

Hi all,
Apologies for the lack of participation over the winter months - you could say I was hibernating.
Recently acquired a DMW tank that will fit nicely on the Bullet, with a little modification of course.
Who knows the thread type on the filler neck? It measures approx 1 7/8" at the widest and as I know the tap is BSP thread, perhaps the same for the cap - any ideas?
WORSE CASE SCENARIO - no-one knows anything about this and I'll have to get one turned up.
BEST CASE SCENARIO - someone has got an old cap they don't need!
Cheers,
Peter.

DMW stuff is pretty thin on the ground, if it's a event tank it might be a shme not to use it on a DMW. Just my thoughts.

I'll just rewrite that!

I agree with you Pete. I wish I had one to use it on. In any case it is not standard anymore as I got the itch to get the grinder out... all will be revealed once it is filled/primed/painted etc.
