[TR] Looking for a replacement for the gasket in my TR4A gas cap.

Go to the hardware store, get some 12”x12” x ¼” rubber sheet, sometimes called plumbers mat.  Many hardware stores carry it in neoprene and nitrile.  They should also have cork sheet as an alternative.

Maybe hand-cut a seal from a sheet of fuel-resistant rubber?  Maybe even wet-strength solid unbleached kraft paperboard -- like the kind used in beverage carriers -- would be the real MacGyver solution.  It would quite likely work very well, and certainly cost notalot.

Hi All,
Has anyone out there had to replace the gasket in their TR4A gas cap? Mine is leaking. I ordered a replacement gasket from the Roadster Factory but it’s lost in shipment somewhere. I need a replacement sooner than what the US Postal Service can provide.
In other words, I need a Magiver solution!
Thanks!
