    Are these available? Mine has fallen to bits. I guess I could get some generic round seal and jam that in if not.

    All the ones I have seen have one it's a bit like a big o ring and a right pain when it falls out

    It's mated straight to the dash bud. No seal as said above.
     
  7. What would it be sealing?
     
  8. possibly similar to the engine seal and if you don't have one your engine will seize, die, burn and generally disintegrate.. or something!

    You have to have one otherwise the dash will overheat causing the fuel gauge to malfunction, this is why so many fuel gauges are broken , as soon as you fit the seal, the fuel gauge will work,everyone knows that, a dash without a seal whatever next

    The original was T section, I've never seen a van without at least some of it still fitted.
