[Healeys] Alternative rear main cap cigarette seals

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

I solved the problem by finding a short price of tubing with the same ID as the recess and a rod of the same diameter. I fed the packing (I’d hate to call it a seal) into the tube and started it in the recess and then forced it in with the rod and a ball pien hammer. I had already placed a small amount of Hylomar in the recess. I managed to pack the whole stick into it and have no leaks (at least from the main seals)...

What size cotton string do you use? Probably doesn't matter, but curious what you typical start with. Thanks for the tip.
TY, Shawn
