Boyce motometer seal - Biddlecombe - 22-09-2018
Can anyone please help me source a spare seal for my winged Boyce radiator cap. I can't see one listed on the spares sites that I have visited.

Yes, thank you. Mine is a fibre, worn out, I have looked at A7 Components BD241s but it is not the same.

make your own - Cork tile, look up gasket paper on er bay. The spirit of the Austin 7 surely is make do and mend ?

Peter, are you talking about the seal between the motometer and the cap, or cap and radiator?
For either I would suggest arm yourself with key dimensions and have a rummage on ebay. I have yet to find a rubber seal that lasts ten minutes but my present cap to radiator seal is cork and was intended for an old British Motorbike of some sort.
