air cleaner lid gasket

 :1zhelp: Has anybody replaced the lid gasket and what did you use. I can not find any thing to repace it with I thought maybe using some rubber hose like fuel line.

I think the some of the originals are fiber like a rope or cord.  Was yours rubber?

There's been a thread or two here about this.

I used some black weatherstripping from Lowes or Home Depot.
