    Gas filler neck not secured to body

    I am puzzled as to how my gas filler neck goes back together. (I didn't take pictures!) The tank filler neck didn't fit well when I removed it so I guess the way it was wasn't correct anyway. My 62 series 2 has a larger tank than the original, though it fits like a glove in the original...
