kent2 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 so i had a NDT 8mm crown and tube for a project. it comes with no gasket btw. so i first made do with two O-rings (one small and one larger) while i beat the bushes for the gen gasket. no luck. does any one even know the part number ? anyways so i got around to making the flat rubber gasket for it. and then i got a gen crown. and it of course had a perished gasket. so made another gasket. is there a need for these flat gaskets or has some one got a better idea ....
JoJo35 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 No need for gaskets on your rep... just stay out of the rain
kent2 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Posted September 7, 2009 but the wife makes me wash the dishes and i always wear a watch...
freddy333 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Let the wife wear the watch when you are doing the dishes (she already seems to be wearing the pants ). All kidding aside, I do not have any gaskets for 8mm Twinlocks, but the part number is 29-0800.
Nanuq Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that a plated brass bezel on that case??!!
kent2 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Posted September 7, 2009 nope. did you note the soldered in bars ? ok what is the sin with a brass plated bezel ? i just liked it and that was enough....for now
Nanuq Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 The point is, all original bezels are some soft brassy alloy, plated to look like steel. And HIGHLY desirable. All currently available aftermarket bezels are machined from a harder steel and not as authentic looking.
Brightight Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Cousins do some, don't know if they'd be big enough though - http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/4/2/1901.aspx Alternatively buy a dishwasher
kent2 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Posted September 7, 2009 thanks. found some interesting stuff. but the flat gaskets are too small.
