[6pack] Oil leak around blanking plate

[Foster, Stan]

Hi John, does the standard fuel pump gasket not work well with these plates ?.
I ask as I am about to fit one myself. I just ordered it from Richard at
Goodparts

I was hoping a normal gasket with some hylomar would take care of it..

Anyone have some good ideas on how I can make a good seal around the blanking
plate that was installed where my former mechanical fuel pump was?   I've got
about 1500 miles on newly restored, tight engine and have sprung a leak.

I've located someone who has better quality/thicker blanking plates, but is
out of stock.

Thoughts on a good seal until I can get a thicker plate?

Thanks in advance!
John
