cap
The Lycoming number is 62732 and they are proud of them. I have a few good used ones for 10.00 each if you need one.

I'm interested in a cap for $10.00
If you still have them, I'd take one.
Let me know.

Just got this one from Avery. You may not need it any more but just for other people.

Just got one from Van--same price nearly five years on. Didn't get the $19.95 part (+shipping) from Aircraft Spruce
However, the Vans part has no o-ring or safety wire holes as the ACS part does. Should the Van's part be installed with thread locking sealant or suchlike?

Old thread, new (?) question...
Bumpty bump. Per previous post, does one just install the knurled tach cover cap finger tight and that's it? A rare hunk of aviation hardware: no self-locking, thread-locking, safety wire or sealing goop?

Yes.
I haven't seen one come off that was finger tight. Perhaps a little tighter grip by using pliers would be appropriate. I've seen many airplanes with the red plastic shipping cap still on after many years, too.

Then why the frowny face? Seems to be still there and doing the job. (although mine is the superior red vinyl rubber model!)
