Help with hard to find part

does anyone know where I can buy the gasket for the oil filler cap on a fhead motor for my 59. I looked at every place I can think of, but I can't seem to find 1.

 

Do you have the old one? How about using it as a template and making one using some gasket material and a pair of scissors?

 

I do have the old one but its not paper gasket material, it looks like around 1/4 inch thick rubber donut

 

Did you find one? I've been looking but no success.

I thought maybe next time I'm in home depot I'd look in the plumbing dept and see if I can find a thick rubber ring of some kind that can be cut down to fit....

 

I came up with A-7280
Surplus Jeep Bottom of the page under Parts Not Pictured
Mullins Jeep
I'm sure some others may have them.

 

Thanks for the help.

I see it's made of leather! Well, I hadn't thought of that.....I'll bet the craft store has leather....or maybe I have some, in a box, somewhere....

 

Old work glove. Amazing how many of those you see laying at the side of the road when you don't need one .

 

thanks for the input. ive now placed an order for one from Surplus Jeep parts once i get it i will try and remember to post whether it fits or not since i had to order it for a GPW. i assume it will be the same but im not sure cost me a whole dollar (not inlcuding shipping which was like 6 bucks i think if i remember right)

 

after i wrote this i checked my reprint of an original parts manual dated 1959 that i just bought and arrived yesterday and yes it says the part number i need is A-7280 which is the part i ordered on surplus jeep website that you guys pointed me to thanks everyone very much ive been searching forever. so once it arrives there should be no question since its in my parts manual as being correct
