"I bought new gaskets from MGOC, but the color seemed wrong, brownish like the Leacy ones mentioned on FT-025A. They also didn't fit well.
Plinth pad for MGA 1600 tail light, too small but fixed Plinth pad for MGA 1600 tail light, too small but fixed So I purchased some from Moss UK, and found the color was much better, a silvery grey. However they fitted the plinths very poorly, the gaskets being too wide and a little short.
I have found a solution as follows. I cut away the center of the gasket freeing one side from the other, allowing each side to be moved relative to the other. I then cut away further material around the complete circumference to make it easier to manipulate each side into the correct position when bolting the plinth into position".
