The ol' Butyl Mastic. Sticks where it shouldn't, droops where it can and lets water in, almost like capillary action.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Seem to be striking a run of poor purchases lately. The Marks Hydrobooster finally arrived after numerous calls back and forth with the supplier and the mount plate holes for the TB48 Master cylinder have one hole half blocked by the casting. The issue appears to be a casting irregularity. I contacted Marks and they absolutely said dont die grind the housing, but the forth bolt cannot be inserted to full depth and so another back and forth exchange expected when they can get to it. UPDATE - the invisible and non existent instructions, together with the bolts that would not start in the threaded holes until I ran a tap thru them, resolved the issue. I have forwarded some constructive comments to the supplier and will see if they think they need to modify their package or not.
Last night bought some front guards for the GQ off a supplier 5 minutes away. Could not complete the transaction because the 'bot' stated the items needed a delivery charge added. I sent an email to the company, requesting I pick them up instead , today, as I return to site tomorrow, 40 minutes on hold, hung down, super busy it seems, then noticed my order has been updated to say one of the guards is now out of stock - so WTF? Spent another 15 minutes on wait, gave up.

Wow!
So I just went to Bunnings to get some irrigation fittings and they have completely changed their sizing and fittings to suit the LGPDEFG mandating.
I wanted a 40mm male to male and a 40mm female to male joiners but they now call it 40mm inserter to inserter and 40mm receiver to inserter.
Bloody nuts!!!
