Hi all, hope its all going well.

Now, here's a question I'm hoping someone can answer.
Does the fuel filler door/cap, seal against the metal rim of the filler neck, or does it seal against the rubber filler neck seal??

My filler neck seal, which fits like a grommet between body and filler neck is falling to bits and there is little, if any spring resistance when closing the cap.

The door flap seal looks in good order.

Regards

Jeff

I do very lovely replacements for the cap seal... C.

I should be able to adjust it
