A bit of extra security on the seal. I cocked up making that seal as per the plans so did mine a different way. However, I was never keen on the original design anyway. I believe George had at least one battery pod flood at some point. </div><div> </div><div>You could even maybe make your own version of that coupling. A ring of rubber say 2" wide covering the joint with a suitably made stainless ring cramped over it. Would be easy to make. You could even maybe use a piece of rubber cut from an old inner tube and stretched over. Not very sophisticated but would probably work and cheaper? Also there wouldn't be anywhere for water to collect and there would be no metal contact to rub your paint off.
