Gas Door Hinge gasket?

Anybody make a replacement one?

I realized why my gas door rubs the quarter panel when I'm opening it, when I checked out another 3rd gen & it didn't rub at all. Looking close, you can see a gasket that spaces the hinge out further.

I tried making one, but too thin. So I'm looking for a correct sized thickness one.

Try a few cut pieces of old garden hose as a spacer.

I could just use washers, but don't want to hack it like that.
