Listers:
Whyizzit that the teeny little parts are ones that drive me nuts?
My latest aggrivation is the teeny little leather o-ring that seals the
connection between the oil pressure line and the dash pressure guage. I have
one SOMEWHERE in my garage, but danged if it'll show itself.
Yes, I know I can order another one, but two things make me not want to do
that; the $5+ shipping for a $1 part, and the need to get the dash in right
away. She Who Must Be Obeyed has dropped several un-subtle hints about the
"car" and the need to "get it done".
Would it be okay to fashion my own seal by applying a very thin bead of
silicone sealant in the groove where the o-ring would fit on the guage? My plan
would be to let it cure completely before attaching the oil pressure line.
Am I asking for trouble by doing this?
Jim
