This may be more question for Euro members due to different set up in USA but what are people using to replace the rubber band that holds the
fuel expansion/vapour box in place where it sits under the dash in the trunk compartment.
Original band looks like a square section style rubber band of sorts

I could be wrong but I thought Stoddard had those. From other dealers they are NLA. If not, I use a rubber band and dye it black. Not original, but it’s hard to see once installed.
But you are right about the original being square.
Check post Numbers 22-25 of this thread for, what appears to be, a really close looking/fitting alternative available thru McMaster-Carr

The Partsklassik band works fine, but if you are after 100% accuracy, it's not right. See this thread.https://www.early911sregistry.org/fo...+square+o-ring

Based off info from the 2 other threads I ordered 2 sizes from McMaster Carr will advise on fitment and the best part nummber when they arrive.
Their square O rings are very close to original diameter as mentioned by Ravi.
