As I'm putting L-Jet back on the car I thought I'd replace the oil cap gaskets. The car was carb'ed before, so there was just a generic rubber o-ring at the very top on the inside of the cap.
I ordered the two seals for the cap from different sources. One was a rubber O-ring and the other a cork like gasket. The O-ring looks correct and fits nicely on the lip that is on the oil cap. I assumed the cork gasket was what would fit at the top of the cap on the inside, replacing the generic O-ring that was on there. But the cork gasket is much too small for that. My guess is that I received the incorrect cork gasket. Does anybody know or remember the correct orientation of the two gaskets involved? |

None available directly from Wrightwood Racing (the brand that Bus Depot uses), none at Stoddard, none at Automation/Performance Products. That leaves me with either a trip to the dealer or Auto Atlanta...
Anybody know where this thing is available? Part is 022-115-315, maybe some VW shops but I'm not familiar enough with them to know who to look for. |
