PZL compass repair - Tom ? Bumper ?

Hi Tom - Two more questions:
Yours was definitely leaking out the threads
in the back ?
Yes. I'd put it on the dash of the car on a paper towel and let the
winter sun heat it up, then look for damp spots. Tried to figure out
some kind of tool to open it up and look for O ring to replace, etc,
but all attempts at opening failed, as I didn't want to break it.
Loctite 330 costs more than our gliders.
From the Loctite product data it looks like
good-ole Loctite 243 is more appropriate
in any case - What am I missing here ?
Probably any decent epoxy stuff will do the trick. Bumper's into
exotic tools & such...
I roughed up the gap with a Moto-Tool first.
