Philip,

I have not had very good luck keeping the port gaskets in place without
gluing them in. In fact, some glue does not adhere well to the metal and
rubber. I found some yellow stuff used for auto door gaskets that does
work if applied to a perfectly clean grove. When I tried installing
without glue the rubber simply feel out when the port was opened and
clipped with its hook. Thanks for the source of rubber gasket material.
I purchased mine from TaShing but it was expensive with shipping added
in - Fawcetts is a lot closer.
