I am installing a o ring that seals ypipe to gimbal housing. I have replaced several alphas but this is first Bravo. This o ring is round and doesn't like staying in gimbal grove. All the earlier ones that I have installed were molded to fit. Any suggestions on keeping this seal in place so I can bot on y pipe? Or, did I get screwed?

Ayuh,...... I slathered the gimbel side with perfect seal, slapped the seal in, 'n bolted the pipe on, fairly recently,......

I did but o-rings poped out. I had perfect seal all over everything. Frustrated, I purchased the molded O-rings. THX!
