Re: T.V. Cable Leak

Welcome to the 67-72 truck board from West Michigan!

You should be able to get the right seal for the cable end. The silicone might work ok but getting the area clean enough might be a problem.

Jim is right. Get the right o ring and you can change it in about 10 minutes.

Re: T.V. Cable Leak

I have found that the G.M. seals are the best, i put an aftermarket seal on mine when i built it and it leaked instantly
