Also, the O-rings for the operating lever seem to be slightly too small to d=
o a good job sealing the side cover. Has anyone found a good source of these=
O-rings that fit properly? Same question for the selector rod o-rings on t=
he top cover. Those always seem too small and sit too far in their respectiv=
e bores to seal against the cover.=20
