[QUOTE="hexah, post: 660018, member: 333852"] For those unfamiliar with the 36v actuator, the join between the arm and the case was a weak spot. The rubber would quickly start to crack through use and heat. Rain would eventually work through. It was not unusual to take off the back cover (to get at the connections) and have a cup full of rusty water fall out! Over your trousers, of course, due to forgetting it would happen. Hence the need for the cover, which extended to the bolt connecting the jack to the dish. Self amalgamating tape provided the watertight seal. Sadly, I haven't seen them for sale recently even though I regard them as essential. A plastic bag or tube will do, but it is not as good as the real thing. Keeps all weather out and extends the life of the actuator. :-thumbup [/QUOTE]
