RE: SER1 Series 1 86" Fuel Tank Cap Gasket

All:

Everyone's advice was perfect.  I bought this tool from a craft shop and
purchased cork/rubber gasket in a sheet.  I cut it to size and it worked
perfectly.  

Thanks again to all who responded.

I've done this and it works a treat.
But watch out for what type of rubber you use - some swell up quite a
lot.
Cork would be best.
