Re: Gas Cap surround and gauge
The rust around the gas cap will just be local surface rust ,scrape it off and repaint . It is easy to replace the float use the neoprene one as the previous poster advises although the sealed cork ones work fine too . Buy the flat steel laser cut removal tool it works way better than the cast pot metal wrench it slips off use a good fitting bolt head to hold the centre still while you unscrew the outer ring . Get the gaskets the brass shims you can use over if they are not buckled .The float is held on to the wire end by a tiny steel washer which is secured by a "flat" pressed at the very end . Squeeze the flat back to round in the vise remove the little washer and slide the dead float off . Fit the new float fit the washer and squeeze a new flat on the end in the vise . This all assumes the assembly is in good condition which most are if too rusty replace the whole kaboodle .
