spedrcr:

I will hit the gasket with some heat later today and attempt to get it to sit correctly. Removing the gasket to put it in hot water is not really an option here without clipping the wires again, and I do not want to do that.

Regarding the electrical connectors: I have the "hassitronica" type --- got em from Amazon.

At first, I was quite skeptical because I was not really nuts about the idea of solder being in it's aqueous form without being able to "control" where the stuff goes. I used a couple of scrap wires to test and let them cool, and then performed my own continuity test and "pull" test. Once I performed my own tests, I became a believer, and it is unlikely that I will ever use a different wire-connection-method again. ... unless a "better" (faster and more effective) method becomes available. In essence: I love those connectors.
