Good day sir!

I have 0 info on cars from down under other than your wagon is “kicken.”
I’d like to see more.
As for the leaks- my 66 Barracuda had a similar issue. Leaked. I installed a new tank with a vent pipe and installed a rollover valve on that vent pipe for protection. Then the gas cap I bought from a Canadian Slant six Dan on here. Sorry I don’t have his actual title to hash tag. He is an amazing keeper of info.
His gas cap has an o ring instead of a gasket. Shinney piece made of aluminum. Still on the car and never leaks. He may still have some for sale.

Hope this helps.

Are you sure that particular cap was from slantsixdan? It sounds exactly like the one made and sold by @damraider . Either way, it's an exceptionally nice piece- I use one too!

That's a cap from @damraider you're describing. Nice machinework, it is.

For the record: all '60-'66 A-bodies, built anywhere in the world, including Australian R-S-AP5-AP6-VC, take the same cap.

That is a bummer, USPS used to have a small envelope anywhere in the world for under $10.00 but got rid of it a few years back. I stand behind my stuff 100%.

LOL Cant fill my Mo Fo up at a servo with out splashin me boots FFS So i just fill up jerry cans and fill her up at home with a hand syphon pump . The fkn servo pumps 1000 liters a second now for new cars !!! ‍
 
I wish we could get the splash shields here in the US like you've got on yours. Doesn't solve the puking at fill up, but it saves the paint!
