Oval gasket in Trunk for Fuel Lines - 510

[qwik510]

Has anyone found a suitable replacement for the oval shaped gasket that the fuel lines go through into the trunk?

 

I am working on my fuel system and need to tackle this part soon.

 

Thanks,

Well I may have found an alternative off the shelf replacement for cheap.

 

How about $2.18 including shipping for 2 of them.

 

The seem to be close to the correct size. I ordered a set and I will try them and let everyone know how they fit.

Well I just got home and the mail man delivered the oval plug I bought from eBay today. I ripped it open, ran out to the garage and gave it a try. It fits perfectly. Not over tight, not loose at all, just a nice snug fit.

For $2.18 this is a really nice cheap replacement for the NLA factory part. You will need to punch your own holes in it for your fuel line but that means it is able to accommodate many different sized fuel lines. I am running 5/16" ID braided stainless lines so I can just punch a hole a little smaller than the hose and get a nice tight fit.

 

I am glad that I was able to find this and share it with all of you.

 

One more good part to keep our little 510s on the road.

 

BTW, I am pretty sure this is the same size as the one in the engine compartment too. So order two and you will be set.
