Glenn,
Same problem on my TR3, I went to the local auto supply and found an o-ring
that fit perfectly into the groove provided. You may have to find an older
auto store that still has the bins with all the assorted sizes for you to
pick from... Maybe even an Ace Hardware would have them.

Subject: [TR] TR4 Gas Cap Gasket
The gasket on the gas cap assembly of my 67 TR4A has hardened and leaks.
This is the red rubber gasket shown here:

With gas prices down, I finally filled up for the first time and found out
about this the hard way - not good for mileage or paint. I haven't found a
source for a replacement at the Big 3 (short of buying the entire assembly).
Does anybody know of a source for the gasket alone? Or a workaround?
Thanks,
Glenn
