Fuel filler cap ball bearing

[xenotron]

Hi Guys, I have just taken the fuel cap apart to remove the salmon coloured flaps that make the tank whistle. This seems to have solved the issue    The trouble is a very small spring and ball bearing came out but I did not see where it came from and cant see any place obvious to put it back. It seems to lock and unlock ok but I am sure those parts are there for a reason. Does anyone know what part of the cap they fit?

Thanks John
