Aftermarket Carburetor Cap and Idle Screw Install

Good write up....thank you!
I did this mod last week using the over-priced kit bought off of ebay. My kit came with a Vito's throttle cable and here's my recomendation if you use this same cable:
The 2 rubber dust protectors that come with the Vito's cable are really too small. So I used the stock dust protector from the thumb-throttle side of my old cable for the new cable's thumb-throttle side.
Next, discard the small dust protector that comes on the carburator-cap side of the new Vito's cable. Then take the bigger sized dust protector you removed from the thumb-throttle side of the new Vito's cable and swap it over to the carburator-cap side of this new cable.
Good luck!

There 'ya go! Should be able to get what you need at the local hardware store or Lowe's.
bumbping this because I got my kit a few minutes ago (ups NEVER shows up to my house befor 6pm, EVER lol) and will probably have questions and I'm on my girlfriends pc so cant bookmark
Might want to give this thread a sticky...hint, hint. Glad to still see people being helped by this info!
It's a M6 x .75 tap.
Buy the kit with the tap in it the first time. You'll play hell trying to source an ultra fine thread M6 tap locally...
