hey guys, just rekeyed a spare lock that I had, and realized that the gasket on my cap is total crap. I ganked a 'better' one off of the spare, but i really would like a new one. anyone know where I can get one? dealer only sells assembly...

pherako

so nobody knows anything? 30 some views, and not a single chime. I'm losing faith here guys. at least somebody tell me it's impossible or something.

cheers,

if you cant find it for sale, make it  :thumb:

i'm sure a boat supply place would have generic sized gas safe gaskets you could make work....

ohgood

+1 what he said

but going to a 'marine' store means it will cost 4.5 to 7.3 times as much ;)

You have already answered your own question....get it from another cap. Most Suzuki caps are the same.
Common sense in not very common.

i was looking for a reasonably cheap solution,dgyver  :) getting another cap is.. costly compared to a gasket... I guess I could weasel something out of rubber.

You might try some Buna-N sheet.  I bet you could cut something out and make it work.  I need to do the same to mine.  Just cut it out with an X-acto knive.

Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Try to find a used gas cap on ebay, or find someone selling a newer dented or scratched tank, maybe they would sell you just the gasket.

I wish my lawn was emo, so it would cut itself.
