Maybe hand-cut a seal from a sheet of fuel-resistant rubber?  Maybe even =

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=E2=80=99s 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!
