RE: [Chrysler300] Replacement for instrument glass glue 55-59

["Gary Nelson" <gnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use the 1/16" o-ring for my gage faces. Henry may have got it from me, the
other Gary. I remember sending some to club member long ago. It is available
in random lengths from industrial suppliers as Henry says.
It only needs to be Buna N material, not high temp silicon. You can make an
o-ring to size and glue with instant adhesive. It sits on top of the grove,
don't push it in.

TIP:
1) Water soluble degreaser works well with warm water and Scotch Brite pad
to remove the gray goo from plastic lenses.
2) Use dish soap and water to sand out scratches prior to buffing.
3) Use a sanding rubber pad to avoid finger marks when sanding.

Thank you,

  I got o ring rubber (I think) from Gary Goers. It comes in a length about
  1/16 inch diameter from memory. It slots into the groove in the housing
and
  is slightly compressed when assembled, forming a seal. Nice and neat.
  Should be able to buy it from a good seal/bearing place.

  I know this subject has been commented previously, but cannot located
those
  old e-mails. What is the recommended replacement for the grey goo that
  usually comes seeping out on the instrument glass after 30-40 years on the
  55 through 59(?) Mopars? Guess the goo purpose was to make the instrument
  binnacles watertight, so would some silicon adhesive be good? Doing a
  winter-job on my C-300 which has the speedo partially obscured by the
  mentioned substance.

  300ly,
