36 Ford Fuel Filler Neck Grommet find!
Gentleman,
Since I re-installed the stock taillight fuel filler neck (P.O. removed it) on my 36 Ford Tudor I have been very unhappy with the current filler neck grommet most vendors carry due to the quality and poor fitment So, I researched a better replacement so the filler neck fitment was good and tight, with the grommet most vendors sell it is very loose and sloppy fitting and always looked bad. A lot of free play with the neck and it would move side to side and didn't appear to be very "secure". I have heard others complain about this issue too. I got my trusty micrometer out and did some research around the internet and after buying a few grommets I thought would work I may have stumbled upon a great solution! I installed the one shown below and so far the fitment for me is outstanding, the neck does not move at all and is rock solid, no exposed areas where the grommet doesn't seal well either. So far nice and tight. I will leave it on and see how it goes over time but I think I may have a winner! I ordered from filler neck supply and purchased their p/n #GR3 (same as p/n 2000 says on my invoice and stamped into the grommet) as shown below. Link here See the pics below.

You have the wrong gas cap. The correct cap is a smooth dome-shaped top, with no flat rim around the edge. I have a good correct cap, show-ready if interested send me a PM. Lawson Cox. Looks like the grommet fits and functions well.

i bought the standard one everybody seem to sell and thought it was strange with the flat "saturn ring" part of it. maybe i've never seen a stock one before, maybe it's the rubber it's made from, but i wasn't impressed. i'll look into the one you've got, thanks.

I could do with a decent grommet but couldn't find GR3 on their website.

https://www.fillernecksupply.com/uni...s-inc-gr2-gr4/ and select the one p/n 2000, if you noticed on the actual grommet abouve in the pics it stamped "2000" but the package lable says GR3 but on their sight select p/n 2000. Hope this helps.
