I've attached a picture of what you get. I've also attached a picture of the original lid showing the spring loaded part that I am talking about. I added a couple of arrows showing where rivets were that held the insert in and another arrow pointing to the cork gasket. I'll use some small self-tapping screws to replace the rivets and I want to replace the cork while I'm at it. The metal insert looks like it is press fitted together but I don't really want to start prying on it and messing it up. If nobody has any better idea I'll probably just cut the old cork out and cut a new piece with the same diameter and glue it in.<div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 27, 2018 at 8:03 AM, Jay Laifman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jay.laifman@gmail.com" target="_blank">jay.laifman@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">If you have a new one, why are you replacing the cork?<br>

> 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?<br>
