I hear ya.   ;)


Worst offender, aside from my laziness, is that the pipe likely "wore" the O
ring (grommet) into a position, then was upset by me repositioning pipe.


If I can find before/after shots I'll post them. Worthwhile for others to
know that this pipe can be installed two ways. At least on my '81 that
seemed to be the case.
