The cork seal in my gas tank cap is on its way out..are new gaskets available?... Or do I simply buy a new cap..

I need to replace an oil feed hose-anyone know of a source for ferrule crimpers?

The cork compound seals are available.A lot of owners don't crimp, just partially slide on the hose and then use a smidge of Wellseal or similar on the inner pipe then push on the rest of the way. Do not use Silastic.Try VOC spares or Kemp's for the gasket and follow their advice to fit. The adhesive needs to be petrol-proof.Gasket is part no. T26/1

Mine stated leaking when the tank was v. full. fished the cork out with a pen knife - turned it over - now it doesn't leak. Now that's engineering!
