[TR] TR4 4a gas cap

[Bud]

Jim,
The gasket I’ve used on my TR6 oil filler cap for 20 years was cut from a bicycle tube.

>>> Does anyone know of a replacement for the rubber gasket in the petrol filler cap?  No reference in factory parts manual and didn’t see anything on TRF or Moss site.  This is the gasket that seals the top part of the cap assembly when closed.  Pic from my 67 4a.  Hard as a rock.  Surprised no replacement easily found
