By Nerdy: Right, so I was able to find the key *and* the calipers to take some measurements, so here we go.
overall diameter = 71mm
the black O-ring and the metal bit under it = 55mm
the round piece that goes into the tank - the outcropping at the 12:00 position = 34.5mm (C)
the round piece that goes into the tank + the outcropping = 38mm (D)
the two locking pieces when they're out = 41.5mm (E)
the central piece stamped 'Made in Japan' = 26mm (F) ...
Thanks for the measurements. Does this pic look right?

That's a good point. I will grab that measurement when I have a chance.

Hey Nerdy, just checking in to see if you've had an opportunity to measure the distance between seal and locking tabs? Thank you
