Believe it or not when I took my gas gauge apart to repair a slight drip I found the cork gasket on TOP of the one brass ring so the nut was touching the gasket...

I would assume Carl's Tip would work on all locking radiator caps... I don't have a brass ring handy to try it on my Motometer.
*** UPDATE - I found a brass ring and it does fit in my Locking Radiator cap with MotoMeter.
