LOL! Thanks, I found that amusing! I guess since I took it apart I had an idea of how it went on, but now I'll smile as I attach mine.

I'm painting mine once its completely assembled (less the starter, gen pump etc)

My original setup used the donut, so I guess I'll use that again. I haven't given it thought really!

I also went with the neoprene seal over the rope. My kit came with both. And I'll be going light on the sealant when I apply the gaskets as the ones on there were a b*$%h to take off!
