[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1089534, member: 176704"] "Left side" suggestion (again)! As long as there is a "half" of a ring slot in one flange, run a small bead of NON-ACIDIC silicone sealant (it does exist!) around that so that it stands as "proud as possible" of the flange, and then let it cure - hopefully that will then seal the joint when the elbow is bolted up to it tightly (and then, maybe, run some more of the same sealant around the outside of the bolted-up joint to reduce the possibility of moisture entering the joint from that direction). I used another variation of this approach when I had to seal the lid to the main part of the plastic box that houses the Smart Priority Switches (SPS) which allow me to select the dishes/LNBs down the garden from either the lounge or our "office" upstairs - the box came with a "rubber" sealing "ring" which proved impossible to keep in-place when the lid was fitted, and so I hit on this "alternative solution", and that has prevented any noticeable moisture entering the box for at least 3-4 years! :) [/QUOTE]
