Also too, when using rubber gasket material (and vince you may already know this trick) when "feeding" the gasket around the opening, donot pull the gasket to make the radius tighter (which it will do), compress the gasket as you go around the perimeter. if you dont, what happens is that the chemicals in the gasket "evaporate" over time and cause the gasket to shrink...learned this while doing Catapiller tractors in the late 80's and 90's
