I reckon its pot-luck getting them "leak free" :?? My bestest Zed has weeped for the 8 yrs I've owned it - after 3 or 4 attempts at sealing it - even with new grommets :roll:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Peter,

I picked up this method from other threads on this forum.

I have used it successfully on several occasions.

Parts must be completely oil free, brake cleaner will sort that out!
