One of my winter chores is to replace the filler neck cork gasket (3826417) on my '66 convertible. I have a set of the special machine screws w/sealing washer (3767804), but have not purchased the gasket yet. Couple questions follow:
Can this task be done by accessing everything through the 'hole' once opened up by removing the fuel cap cover, bezel, & rubber seal ... or will I have to lower the tank to work from below?
Are the repro cork gaskets sold by the 'usual suspects' of sufficient quality & fit? Can't seem to locate an NOS GM part.
Should I use a two repro gasket stack? Seems like I read somewhere that the mating flanges are not known for having good surface finish or parallelism.
Is any Permatex or similar sealant used? If so, on one or both of the cork's surface(s)?
Thanks in advance
