RE: SER1 Series 1 86" Fuel Tank Cap Gasket

Cameron,

My 80” needs 1/8th cork to seal properly. I don’t know how thick the
original gaskets were.

Nick.

    G'Day Cameron,
    They may well be available in the UK. Try the usual suppliers.
Alternatively make one yourself from neoprene cork sheeting (1/16" thick)
which should be abvailable from automotive parts suppliers. Rubber sheeting
will often react with fuel and not last for long. 
    If you get hold of a pair of engineers dividers and sharpen one end to a
blade, leaving the other as a point, you will have a nice tool for making
round gaskets in all sorts of sizes.
