Title: i almost kilt all dem crickets... Post by audioguy on 07/31/12 at 13:58:11 The other day I did the silicone and tube method (Oldfeller2's way) to eliminate the pesky crickets rattling in my speedo - waaaay better, but still some speedo rattling going on.  For all of you that did this method was it 100% cure?  Or do you still have the occasional cricket? Any hints out there where I may have fallen short?  Not enough silicone, nuts not tight enough (though, I hate to tighten those more - the plastic support posts were already twisting a bit when I was tightening). Just wanted to check with you smart folks before I take her all apart and try again.

I think I finally resorted to using some silicone adhesive between the tank and the speedo. That did it.

FWIW, my speedo has been totally mute in the three years since I did that mod.....
