[QUOTE="jmden, post: 84701, member: 1742"] I was a little concerned that these Stoney Point target knobs weren't watertight so a made a little modification to help with that. First, I set a small o-ring on the top of the bottom of the two-piece knob that seals around the SS spindle and to the top surface of the bottom piece of the knob. Then I used a counter sink bit and some polishing to give room for the o-ring to mostly sit in and seal in the upper part. The countersink is cut such that the o-ring has just a bit of pressure on it as the top part of the knob is spun while still mating well with the bottom part of the two-piece knob. A little well placed silicone grease helps to lube and also further helps with watertighness and sealing. Some pipe thread compound in the set screw threads up top completes the modification. Should be quite watertight. All seems to function normally after the modifications. jmden [/QUOTE]
