I'm in the process or rebuilding mine..with a recently purchased kit
After cleaning, I was dry fitting all the components...to find that the 2 smaller cork gaskets (on either side of the glass) are a bit thick.....
Is it common practice to soak them in (?) before assembly?
As well, I've decided to re-finish the original face plate with the hole...as mine is eliptical...and the new one is round...
What is the best paint for the face? Lacquer? Or ?

Any help or input appreciated. ..
