Does anyone know of a replacement for the rubber gasket in the petrol filler=
 cap?  No reference in factory parts manual and didn=E2=80=99t see anything o=
n TRF or Moss site.  This is the gasket that seals the top part of the cap a=
ssembly when closed.  Pic from my 67 4a.  Hard as a rock.  Surprised no repl=
acement easily found

Correct.  That=E2=80=99s the grommet that attaches to rear deck body that ca=
p housing slides into. I=E2=80=99m going to ask TRF if the TR6 seal part num=
