No, the car companies had the trolley companies put out of business before I was around.I can remember trolley buses!!! (not sure they happened over your side, though?)
I put one of the stock o-rings on, it didn't seem to do anything. I don't think the new cap was cut in a way to use an o-ring.I doubt leather would help swoosh here, he not trying to seal the cap, just secure it.
Hence others suggesting o rings, they squish and grip and to a great job of securing such things.
But as Swoosh has no need to frequently remove the caps, I‘d still suggest a simple dab of silicone on the threads is all that’s needed here.

Out for a ride and near home the highway was wide open, so I decided to check if it would still do the "ton". Well, it did, but when I backed off it started running on one, so I figured something broke. I kept going and made it home but noticed my leg was getting gas on it while going up the drive. Drain plug missing, now they're safety wired! I didn't have someone videoing me and it wasn't stuck in front of the starter, so I just ordered a new one .Long time ago my MK3 stopped halfway between Red Bluff and Redding, fuel pouring everywhere. The drain plug from one of the Amals had come out. This could have been an absolute disaster but by a MIRACLE it had lodged in front of the starter motor.
