RE: Replacing light seals on an old ME

[Alan Chan]

There should be some foams inside the camera as well, but might just leave 
them untouched. Last time I ordered the kit from Fargo, the thickness of 
their foams were thinner than they claimed. And that made them useless. For 
instance, you need exactly 3mm foam as mirror bumper, but theirs was like 
2.4mm. Too thin imho.

I have an ME SE that's having a light leak.  I ordered a "universal" seal 
kit from Micro-Tools to attempt the repair myself.  I've made similar 
repairs on microfilm cameras, so I'm pretty familiar with the process 
(remove ALL the old gunk, cut to fit and install).  However, other than the 
seals for the back cover and the mirror "cushion", are there any other 
seals I should replace while I'm at it?  I'd prefer to keep disassembly to 
a minimum.
