RPD thanks for the link. That will be a big help getting it cleaned up. I have a 3d printer. I'll bet I could come up with something myself.

Thanks guys.

Unless you are making a lot of them 3d printing is overkill, the fix in the video is just two holes drilled in a block of plastic, stronger, and faster than programing the printer.

Russ... when you get a chance please post that image of the gasket so I have it when I open up the housing.

Thanks

Thanks for posting the link Ron.

If your current gasket is unusable as a guide for a new one you can use the cover as a cutting guide. Mark the screw holes to cut out and don't forget to add a breather hole. There is only one breather hole but the OEM gasket is cut so no matter which way you put it in there is an opening for the breather hole.
