Where possible I like to make my own gaskets so now I want to make one for my Packard gas tank where the sender unit attaches. What would be the best material. The original seems to be some type of rubber material which is in very poor shape. Would cork work as a substitute? From the photo on the online catalogue it appears that the gasket Max Merritt sells is cork.
