The stock gas cap on my 1996 California 1100i will fit on my 1971 Ambassador. I
don't know what the part number is, but any Guzzi dealer should have the parts
book and could give you the number. There is also a Stant brand radiator cap
that will fit the Ambassador tanks as well. Again, I don't know the part number
but it's available at any auto parts store. The Stant cap will most certainly
be less expensive than the Guzzi one and for all I know, they may actually be
using the same cap. They look the same.
As for the gasket, I made a new one out of some sheet Viton. It's a type of
rubber that is chemical resistant. You can buy it any place where hydraulic
hoses are made. You can make your own petcock gaskets with this stuff as well.
Cheers,
Dave
