    Help- Rubber Ring for Securing Fuel System Vent Box

    Can anyone suggest a source or quality replacement for the rubber ring (P/N 901-201-618-22) which secures the fuel vent box under the cowl in a '69-'73?

    I've wondered this also. If we could get dimensions, I'll bet McMaster Carr has something that will work.

    I use bungee and join the ends with a crimp connector. All available at my local friendly Ace hdw.

    Thanks. Sounds simple enough. Anyone have a photo of the installation/orientation of the "rubber ring"?

    There are two welded hooks on the body, one in front of the box and one behind. Band goes from hook to hook under the box. Rear hook is more accessible from instrument side.
