Does anyone know where to get some SU glad washers/ cork seal moss part (295-200) for a tr3. The ones I got from Moss are a bad joke. Or has anyone purchased the whole jet bearing kit from Moss (370-395)? Is the kit form England, perhaps SU? Does the TRF sell the washers separate? Or lastly, has anyone invented/created their own.

Aloha,
I find that if you soak the cork seals in oil over night they become more pliable and less likely to break when installing them. I have also used o-rings as a replacement to the cork seals. They are very effective in stopping fuel leaks and have the advantage of not drying out if the car sits for a long time. The disadvantage is that choke operation can be difficult because the o-rings tend to grip the jet tighter than the cork seals. About ten years ago I bought some o-rings coated with silicone to solve the sticky chock problem. If you don't use the chock to start the engine, this become a non issue.
