False tank reconstruction...

Yesterday I broke down a bit more than I had to when replacing throttle cables....now im trying to reassemble everything. i had thought that it was good idea to remove the lid from the false tank; i thought it needed to be done, it wasnt until after the fact i realized thats not the case...

so im trying to put the lid back on the false tank. that slide is a pain. if anyone has a moment can they take a picture of the inside of the lid?

From what I gather, I should have the lid reconnected then drop the fuel gauge back in place. but the slider with the cotter pin giving me troubles

the arrow points to what i need picture of. any advise for the cotter pin? (id like to see it assembled and then see if i can see where the washer goes. i know the plastic washer goes over the end and then cotter gets inserted there.

Yup, I had the same situation when trying to put the doors back on my GL1200 shelter. I HAD taken photos of how it went together- but that was about 3 cell phones ago. I ended up resorting to parts fiches and hi-res photos of shelters on Ebay.
