Hi Greg,
I'm interested in this too, since I'm planning on using the same set up. Did you get a rubber o-ring with your pump, which sits inside the
aluminium ring? I always thought that this would be used to make the seal with the boss.
Cheers,
Jek

Would an original Yamaha gasket work? If so you can get one from your local Yamaha dealer or any online bike part shop.
Finally back on the job!

if your looking to use a rubber type gasket you have to make sure it is made of nitril rubber - one of the only petrol proof rubbery type stuff out
there.. far better than liquid sealer - if that will suit your application

if it is a big o-ring that you need then these guys are good.
They do any size you can imagine and deliver quickly.
