Joe,
You will probably want to replace the old O-ring that fits between the
bezel and the gauge. As Bernard mentioned, it will most likely be very
stiff and brittle with age.
I made a replacement o-ring by going to my local hardware store (no Home
Depot for this trick) and asking if they had an o-ring fabrication kit.
This kit contains long strands of o-ring material in several different
thicknesses. Once you cut the appropriate strand to length, you use the
enclosed Krazy glue to join the ends. If it is done right, the o-ring is
as strong as a molded one. BTW, my hardware shop made the o-rings from
their kit, I only paid for the strand and labor (about 2 minutes).
Regards,
