A few random questions '25 touring

[MikeC5]

Pic 1, Cowl lights: how do they open up? I took the single screw out but can't budge the ring. Is it supposed to unscrew or just pull off?

Pic 2 & 3, Gas Cap: It does fit on the tank. Flip top why?

What was in the hole on top?

Pic 4, Which are the correct hood hold down for '25?

Pic 5, Do these look like the correct engine compartment splash shields for a '25? Any tips on which side is left/right, up down?

Pic 6, ?? Any idea if these are part of the '25 touring? (I found 4 of them) and where are they used?

The rusty hood latch is correct. Gas cap is after market. Bolts are for front fender brace through frame from the inside, hard to get at for regular bolts.

Thanks guys. Anyone have a photo or two of the cowl light opened up? I'm not sure I'm getting how the cover is held on. Dave, the rusty latch is the one on the right? (they both have some rust).

[dwollam]

Yes. The left one is quite early. The right one(rusty colored!) is correct. And I hate splash pans so I have them blocked out of my mind and could not tell you which is what

Thank Dave.

The cowl lights have three small pins attached to the inside of the trim ring.

they slide into three slots located on the housing. Turn the trim ring counter clock wise about an inch. The two pieces should release. If it doesn't turn it could be rusted together and needs some penetrating oil to loosen the parts. The splash shields look correct. The one with the hole in it goes on the passenger side. The water pump drain valve goes through the hole. wider ends butt up to the fire wall. the cups are on the top and butt up against the frame. The other side bolts in between the block and oil pan.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for those good tips GG.
