from my own experience:-</span></p>
<p class="ydp8080dd6dyiv5885094518MsoNormal"><span>Yes,
worth it.</span></p>
<p class="ydp8080dd6dyiv5885094518MsoNormal"><span>Not
sure where the issue is here…if you have an alloy
cover, like mine, buy the “alloy cover” one. If
not, buy the other one. Presumably there is some
small difference in shape.</span></p>
<p class="ydp8080dd6dyiv5885094518MsoNormal"><span>You
need to get the appropriate glue, then stick it
permanently to the rocker cover. Not easy, as it’s
prone to contracting inwards along the length of
the cover. (Self-explanatory once you’re actually
doing it.) Do I recall the use of clothes pegs
and/or bulldog clips? Not sure..)</span></p>
<p class="ydp8080dd6dyiv5885094518MsoNormal"><span>Anyhow,
once it’s on, it’s great. You can take the cover
off and replace it with confidence. No leaks…no
gloop sticking cork to head.</span></p>

<div>
<p class="ydp8080dd6dyiv5885094518MsoNormal">I
have the excellent Ray Juncal rocker cover with
a cork gasket. I noticed that Moss sells a
silicone gasket. So 2 questions for the list:</p>
<div>
<p class="ydp8080dd6dyiv5885094518MsoNormal">1.
Is the silicone gasket worth it?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ydp8080dd6dyiv5885094518MsoNormal">2.
Moss has 2 versions, one for the original
rocker cover and one for "alloy covers". No
other explanation. Anyone have an opinion on
which to get?</p>
