Hey Everyone,  
Here’s my lid and latch assembly. I still have to fine tune the sealing. After the silicone sets from gluing the 2 gaskets to the metal, I will spread a thin layer of silicone on one of them, spread oil on the other and loosely clamp it shut until it sets. That should fill in any irregularities for a complete seal. It’s time consuming because I allow 48 hrs for a complete set of the silicone. Meanwhile I’ll chunk fuel.
