Indeed the triumph cap p/n T2108005 does indeed fit, with very close, but no
t exact dimensions to the stocker,  and tested to release around 1.1bar usin
g an inexpensive tester.

The housing is of thinner material, but still adequate. The outer seal is ac
tually floating on a =9Cbearing=9D eliminating the sliding frict
ion when installing compared to the original. Overall it appears to be highe
r quality.

Btw, when tested, my original cap was found to be leaking - so i was running
 at ambiant pressure explaining my blow-off.

Cheers and thanks for the tip!
