Hi guys,

I just bought some O-rings from the hardware store and put them in my Legacy after the stock silicone came out. Is this a good choice? BTW: I don’t have access to any flow-able silicone.

It should work but since the pads are flush and the O-rings stick out it will most likely be responsive

I might be… The o-rings might cause responsiveness, they might not… I bet it will be snaggy though… If its a problem you could shave down the o-rings and it should play a little like silicone…

It turned out great! It’s the same response as before and the binds are snug and don’t snag and knot Thread locked.
