Jack, are you sure it won't fit ? I agree the cap and cover changed, but I
thought they were interchangeable.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that when I put TS11021E into TS39781LO (where it
resides today), I used the later chrome cover off TS39xxxE and the cap that
was on TS11021E when I got it (in TS10xxxLO). Of course, it's possible that
someone had already changed the cap & cover on TS11021E.

Looking at the SPC, the cap changed from 106386 to 113569 at 17372E.
However, the cover didn't change until 18230E, which supports my argument
that they interchange.
In addition, I have a factory part number supercession list, that lists
113569 as a supercession for 106386.
