Best thing you can do with it is swap it for the later forged steel type, which is less suicidal and will fit with your centre stand if you ever decide to use it.

Paint colour for the filler cap is BMW Solid Gold 859.
I've bought little sheets of various thickness Viton and successfully made rings with a compass cutter. (Remember to cut the outer diameter first. )
I bought a very cheap compass cutter from a model shop years ago and it's been priceless, well worth investing in a good one though.

Thanks for the tip regarding the cutter

Would you be kind enough to provide a link to a suitable stand? That way I can look to purchase the correct one
