Paul :This is a photo of my sidehousing.Just saw this morning that the
seal groove has a "chip" to the waterport.The housing otherwise is in a
good condition with very little step-wear and way under factory specs of
.0039"
Is there a way to fix the groove ?Or must i get another sidehousing.

Le Roux Breytenbach

Those can be fixed. Typical a sign of a too large diameter O-ring.

Why wouldn't JB Weld repair that??

Bill Bradburry

I would not rely on that. It is good for some things but I would not
use it there.
