[Tigers] Gas Cap Questions

                I’m not sure how the cork is held in or how that comes apart.  

Try a thin blade under the cork to see if it will move, maybe there is enough room if loose to pull it out of there.

 

Yes, I used 4 screws and 4 washer to hold that part to a new cap.

Hi,

 

I'm replacing my gas cap with a new one from Sunbeam Specialties and I see that I have to move over a little spring that goes under the push-button and the larger spring loaded metal piece with a cork washer that seals against the filler neck.  So I am looking for ideas about replacing that cork gasket.  It doesn't look like I can take the metal piece apart, so do I just take a razor and cut away the cork and cut a new piece of cork to fit?  Also, this spring loaded metal piece was held in to the cap with four rivets.  Should I just use self-tapping screws on the new cap?

 

Thanks,

Joe Brown
