Hi,
Just from my own experience:-
Yes, worth it.
Not sure where the issue is here=E2=80=A6if you have an alloy cover, like m=
ine, buy the =E2=80=9Calloy cover=E2=80=9D one. If not, buy the other one. =
Presumably there is some small difference in shape.
You need to get the appropriate glue, then stick it permanently to the rock=
er cover. Not easy, as it=E2=80=99s prone to contracting inwards along the =
length of the cover. (Self-explanatory once you=E2=80=99re actually doing i=
t.) Do I recall the use of clothes pegs and/or bulldog clips? Not sure..)
Anyhow, once it=E2=80=99s on, it=E2=80=99s great. You can take the cover of=
f and replace it with confidence. No leaks=E2=80=A6no gloop sticking cork t=
o head.
..Worth it. In my opinion at least.
