[SOLVED] Vortex v3 gas cap owners help!

To reassemble the valve body, take the larger black, plastic peanut-shaped piece and make sure the two holes are facing up.

In the deeper hole, place the 1/4" ball bearing.

In the shallow hole, place the white, plastic shim.

Now take the thinner peanut-shaped piece and look for two plastic tabs on one half of one side.

These two tabs need to be placed face down over top of the white, plastic valve shim.

Once you have the lid (thin black peanut) installed, gently flip the entire assembly over and CAREFULLY place it into the aluminum valve body, making sure the channel in the plastic peanut lines up with the channel in the top side of the aluminum valve body.

The peanut should lay perfectly flat in the aluminum valve body (if the peanut assembly doesn't sit flat, make sure the white shim and ball bearing did not somehow fall out). Then you can use a dot of blue loctite on the screws and gently snug the black aluminum cap back onto the valve body. *Check that there are no visible gaps between the valve body and black aluminum cap.

Make sure to use all 5 provided o-rings.
*Two small o-rings on cap screws
*One larger o-ring around the base of the valve body (top of the threads). This one is typically green.
*One large, thin o-ring around the black, aluminum cap.
*One large, base gasket o-ring that seals the gas cap body to the tank.
Make sure the o-rings are installed on the screws before threading into cap.

To reinstall the lock switch, make sure small spring is in the smaller of the two holes (not the threaded hole) on the top side of the cap base.
Next, gently place the small ball bearing on top of this spring. *I use a small dab of grease on top of the spring before seating the small ball bearing. This helps keep the bearing in place.
The lock switch has two dimples on the back. Carefully place the lock switch on top of the ball bearing and spring (make sure one of the dimples is resting on the ball bearing. The bushing must now be installed into the middle of the lock switch (gently drop it into place) before securing the switch with the flat head screw and a small amount of blue loctite. The lock switch will not work without the bushing.

Slowly tighten the screw down to avoid jamming the spring and bearing and binding them into the cap. The lock switch is the most difficult part of the install, my best advice is to work slowly and methodically. Once all the small parts are reassembled and snug, the switch should flip back and forth easily and lightly click between the "open" and "locked" positions.
