Default 997.1 Coolant Tank Cap NFG

There was faint coolant smell so I installed a new (blue latest version) OEM cap. The fit was so bad that it would not seal properly. I put some silicon grease on the threads but the fit was really not right. The parts department assures me the part is correct.

For the record >>
2007 911S
This is the part said to be correct: 99619644704

I'll be vindicated if you tell me I need to hamfist it onto the tank. Anyone have a strapwrench they can loan?

FWIIW the old cap is fine and held tight yesterday at FexEx in 100F all day. Larry (SCCA) is my new hero. He!! of a great instructor. No offense to others.
