Need advice on O ring
Apr 01, 2010,16:58 PM
The O ring on my 16800 sort of tore at one part and I had it replaced at RSC (they replace the crown with the ring). However, I noticed again that there is a small tear on the new O-ring. Should I be concerned and get ti fixed again or just leave it. And I do not bring this baby swimming.
Thanks

Sorry about the double thread on the Triplock. Hopefully you will get twice the response. But I think you may already have what you need. Bill
Only joking Bill!

Is it possible to say what year the triplock replaced the twinlock? And when the 7030 triplock with external O-ring replaced the 7020 without? Thanks for any additional information. Andrew
