I did get an e-mail this morning that prompted me to add to this thread. The gas cap is like the roll bar rear brace hole. On originals there is no gasket just a close-ish fit between part and hole. Part of the problem is guys that pay big bucks for an original want it to look finished and trimmed out, the other is the replica guys who just want it to look nice. That often steers us away from the crude simplicity of originality.
