I went down this rabbit hole too. Have a look at this, they call out the ODM (outside diameter) of different fire hose threads. In your case a 2.5" fire hose cap would mate to a pipe with 2.841" OD pipe. Close enough to try? 8 threads per inch. I remember almost pulling the trigger on the Dixon website, but then someone came through with a spare oil fill tank cap for me instead. 2.5" NPSH cap. Give it a try? https://dixonvalve.com/sites/default...ogram_2016.pdf

Tried it, no joy. Only option is change fill pipe to NPT thread.

I got a spare for our '80 from Coach Parts. Looks like he's out of stock at the moment. Perhaps email Dan and see if he's having trouble getting any, or just hasn't replaced inventory yet?

It is exactly what BB used for my coach.

Barry, McMaster does not carry a NPSH cap only a NPT one.
I contacted Motion Industries located in Pelham NY but you maight find one closer to you. Good luck!
