Number 54 will have it done this week to see if it cures the dome fit issue I now have preventing a decent negative.

Number 55 still going strong. And with the missus pregnant, that means a Boris worth of spares for me!!!

Hello,

I went back to a smaller o'ring with the new dome reinforcement
stainless band modification that they have come out with.

My unit has been solid !!!
(knock knock)

If you guys want I will be willing to post some pictures of the
modification...

An O ring is the wrong seal for the application. Until they sort that out, then the Boris's lid will leak. Everything being done to try and solve it so far is a bodge. Re-jig the tooling and fit a chevron seal.

The SS/delrin modif is perfect and hold a neg overnight, my orings were changed due to the amount of hours on the unit (235h first time 440h second time)

DeltaP/CCR technologies are giving a superb and very quick aftersale service, let's be grateful !

I'll second the comments about the support, my O ring was changed when my dome cover was swapped for an in house one as part of the activity to stop my leaking issues.
