Hey Tubenutt,

If the rubber on the back of the dial wheel is still pliable, then go for it. Do not take a lot off, though, just a tiny bit - just enough to make it a tight fit.

I would remove the dial wheel rubber, remove a very tiny amount with a razor blade (CAREFUL!!!), then try it on the dial for size. If it seems like it will fit tightly, glue the ends together with super glue, let dry, mount it back behind the dial and glue it on the metal. Do not get any glue or residue on the rubber surface that contacts the O-rings. Let all dry before using the mechanism.
