Default BBK.... less is more

Any one see the new BBK tb's, no more removable top cover, I got a BBk gasket kit today without the top cover gasket and was searching out why. Seems all the ones with the top cover are now obselete. New style is also less expensive by 'bout $20 and an improved product, according to them. Glad I only paid 'hunert bucks for this one I bought to learn on. Got this straight from the BBK site.

I have used RTV instead of a gasket on mine. No issues. just go sparingly so it doesn't fall in the tb.

just glad I didnt spend more than I did when there's better cheaper avail, they're probably not do much advertising to let the shelves clear off of the older product.
