What about using a gasket under the handle as original, but making it thicker? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | That could possibly work,depending on how thick the gasket ends up.
I'm going to put some weld on mine and use the gasket that came with the handle.
