    Hey Mike, can you get a nice "gently used" original at one of the parts houses? Or does it have to be perfect...

    I made one from truck inner tube. It may wrangle the so-called purists but here in NJ it is unlawful to pump one's own gas. The thicker material has saved me from "following-up" on disrespectful gas station workers a few times. I wouldn't go back to the thin one if this one wears out in 50 years.
