brady seal install

Hey Kurt,

Thanks for the update.

There was a problem with the circumference dimension of the early seals. Roger at DRI subtracted a few inches off the width and height dimensions that I gave to him without knowing that I had already subtracted a few inches - the idea is that the seal should be slightly smaller than the opening. With Roger's additional reduction in size it became difficult to fit the hose in it's hole. This became a problem mostly on the LX seals; it was a problem to a lesser degree on the LXi seals. Roger and I went back to my original dimensions late February of 2012. So if anyone has an uninstalled seal older than 3/1/12 you probably should call Roger and see about a replacement, particularly if you have an LX. Roger knows the proper dimensions and has known since 3/1/12 or so.

Kurt, yours isn't the first LX install. The size reduction was spotted early on when Graham Leftwich had his seals replaced by Dean Woodruff at Integrity RV. I believe they actually tore the hose out from the seal trying to get it to line up with the chassis hole.
