    Fuel cap seal glue failure!!!

    Well I made some gas cap seals from neoprene for the TX 750 and used contact cement to glue them to the metal reatiner plate. Well the gas has eaten the contact cement, so I am looking for a suitable fuel resistant adhesive to reapply the rubber to the cap. Any suggestions or sucess stories on anything youve used????

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

    Chuck, the Threebond 1207B that we use on the case halves should work. Ray.

          Try 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive (Yellow or Black) and allow it to dry over-night.

              The 3M weatherstrip adhesive would certainly do the job. I use it on master link clips on my chain. It holds until you cut it off with a razor blade. Nothing seems to affect it..
