Message: [QUOTE="TexasJ, post: 1562036, member: 30660"] Hey I'm just now seeing this. For some reason I never got any email updates that there was activity in this thread, so I apologize. I just read through everything you wrote and it seems like we're both in the same boat more or less. I never did get the deleted pedestal to work without leaking. I never did try the rtv though. Frankly, I dreaded the thought of doing this job YET AGAIN so much that I put it off for basically this entire year. I did, however, discover a mod a few months ago that allows you to swap out the obs pedestal for the super duty pedestal. It's called the "Freakify" mod, and was dreamed up by a user on another forum. I decided to go that route. I figured; worst case scenario, if it still leaks after I get everything put back together, at least it's much easier to take apart again! I just finished that mod this week and everything is holding up wonderfully. The downside is that I had to buy several new parts, so at this point I've sunk nearly $2,000 into this project if you include the previous pedestal and hardware which are now out of warranty and the new parts I just bought for the freakify mod. I'll try and link to the mod walkthrough on the other forum in a moment in case you're interested. I'm glad I sucked it up and did it. But I'll be a whole lot MORE glad once my credit card is paid off. 😂 [/QUOTE]
