I'm not using the speedo cable and want to close off the outlet on the engine. Has anyone done this and if so where did you find a screw-on cap for the outlet?

 
We've been looking for that for years & years now -- question is "Does it fit" correctly?

Some brave person will order one and post if it works correctly.

 
The seal works against the cable, and it is not necessary if you are just capping off with the cap as shown.  

Chopping off the cable to use the seal to keep the chopped cable from leaking ignores the fact it would be sorta aborted and ugly.

Leaking or missing seals (fell off when you took the cable out and got lost in the grass) have been an issue for years -- we have coped by using the "O" ring trick because the only way to buy a seal from Suzuki was to buy an entire new cable and that was too too expensive for anyone to consider since the "O" ring was less than a buck.

Folks who are doing these RYCA mods are very concerned over how things LOOK ....    If it don't look right they ain't gonna do it.

I used a chrome piece I found on a broken kitchen faucet. Capped with rubber insert. Not sure about the measure, but even here water fittings and threads are in inches. It fits perfectly and it looks... exactly like two smaller fittings on top of the faucet:

To make it look RIGHT, the proper solution would be to mill the speedo threads off the crankcase, then press in an insert and mill it flush.  

imaginations gone wild,, Id try real hard to not let that turn into a science project.

Contacted Mike's and they say the cap is 14.5mm. Ours is more like 16mm. Too bad.
