Hi,

Just from my own experience:-

Yes, worth it.

Not sure where the issue is here=E2=80=A6if you have an alloy cover, =
like mine, buy the =E2=80=9Calloy cover=E2=80=9D one. If not, buy the =
other one. Presumably there is some small difference in shape.

You need to get the appropriate glue, then stick it permanently to the =
rocker cover. Not easy, as it=E2=80=99s prone to contracting inwards =
along the length of the cover. (Self-explanatory once you=E2=80=99re =
actually doing it.) Do I recall the use of clothes pegs and/or bulldog =
clips? Not sure..)

Anyhow, once it=E2=80=99s on, it=E2=80=99s great. You can take the cover =
off and replace it with confidence. No leaks=E2=80=A6no gloop sticking =
cork to head.

.Worth it. In my opinion at least.

I have the excellent Ray Juncal rocker cover with a cork gasket.  I =
noticed that Moss sells a silicone gasket.   So 2 questions for the =
list:

1.  Is the silicone gasket worth it?

2.  Moss has 2 versions, one for the original rocker cover and one for =
"alloy covers". No other explanation.   Anyone have an opinion on which =
to get?

Thanks.
