Rubber Parts supplier with quality items wanted>

[Polarsilver]

Need to Buy some Fuel Tank " Rubber Neck Seals" .. Q who is supplying new rubber parts that last more than a few months before they show signs of decay ?
past experiences with my favorite mini parts supplier does not give me hope.

As usual Norman, I suspect NOS or good used are the only answers ....

I know that they just posted on the Japan mini site on facebook that there is a company there that has just started to reproduce them. Could check and inquire with them.

If you luck out with the Japanese ones, I got one from Somerfords about 3 years back, it's still good, not cracking or deterioration.

I have never bought a new one of those.

Anybody know where you can get decent (Japanese?) tie bar rubbers etc that don't fall to bits in six months?

Have you tried minispares 'genuine' fuel neck surround? They seem better quality than the budget one they sell?

I spoke to Rich a while back about the new MS tank neck seals and he said they are excellent.

Any old stock items seem fine James.

Could try old stock Quinton Hazell items if you can't find MOWOG marked ones.

I have fitted the minispares "genuine" ones, they've only been on a few months but they were very supple compared to some of the normal rubbish floating around.

The only downside is that they are BIG....more rubber than a normal one plus they're a bit slacker in the body fit and a bit slacker where the tank neck passes through.
