Would love to see a word document so I can replace mine and finally get that light out.

TeaEye,
Don't use any Hardware store o'rings, no telling what they are made of. PM me your address and I'll send you a couple sets of o'rings to rebuild it. I work at a brake Company and we have most all sizes laying around but I still have one more to find.
