Harley VL Gas Cap Syringe Leathers Source

[Buster]

Have a Harley VL gas cap syringe with bad leathers in plunger. I can find leathers for manual oil pump but not gas cap syringe. Where can I buy them or is it possible to make then. Thanks.

Dear Buster, I've always made them from an old piece of leather and a suitably sized hollow punch. They are small enough that you could cut them out by hand and not be too far away. But you can get dribbles of fuel on your beautifully painted tanks, so consider leaving off the leather washers or even faking the primer by just using the top section for show.
