Thanks for the information. By the way what is RTV?
Sorry - force of habit. It's a high temp version of silicone seal. I
use RTV as a generic term.
Use silicone seal - a good grade should do it.

I didn't know what it meant either, although I've heard and been saying
"Silicon RTV" for years. So, off to Google land I went and learned:
RTV means Room Temperature Vulcanization. Any of Dow's Silicon goop
that cures at room temp is called RTV.
I know the aircraft industry goes through cases of the stuff - it's
very handy in aircraft engine cowlings and what not.
I jsut figured it was high temp stuff - didn't know about the Room
Temp thingy.
