Maybe I do need to back up a bit. The dimensions that I have for the LX slide body are:

Height: 72"
Width: 158.25"
Hose placement: 117.25" from leading edge.

You mention a value of 135.25" which puts the hose just 2' (roughly) from the trailing edge. Is this correct?

Jerry McDonough and Graham Leftwich both have '03 LX's and they measure 117.25" for hose placement. Could it be that earlier vintage LX's have a different hose placement? If so, I wonder when BB made the change? What we may need to do is specify the LX living room hose placement to Roger at build time. So far, we haven't had any issues with hose placement on the other seals: LX/LXi bedroom and LXi living room.

David It was my seal that I pulled the stem out of. If I remember right I put a larger washer on the inside and outside of the stem and applied a little glue around the outside of the stem. and reinstalled the seal.(Really had to stretch it) That is when we found out both you and Roger made deduction in the seal size. We weren't sure if the stem would hold, so Roger sent me a new seal. I haven't installed it yet. The stem just has a real small leak, so keeping the new one in case it lets go.
