markdhanlon 0 Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) I was cleaning my housing the other day, cleaning all the push buttons, o-rings etc. and accidentally broke an e-clip and lost a spring perch (washer). This got me thinking about all the pieces on my housing that, without spares, I can't use the housing. I put in a call to Ikelite and was able to purchase most of what I wanted, however, the one piece that I still want they don't sell: the push button assembly. Therefore, does anyone know where to purchase this piece? I'm talking about the round push buttons on the rear of the housing including the spring, spring perches (plastic and stainless washers), o-ring and e-clip. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure that if I lost one of these pieces and sent in the housing to Ikelite, they'd replace it, but I'd spend more in shipping costs then the pieces are worth. I just found the recent DIY article solving my problem. Thanks. It just seems odd that B&H has the parts, but Ikelite doesn't.

If BH can get it, your local dive shop should be able to. A dealer is a dealer...or should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arnon_Ayal 1 Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) Maybe this can help: B&H, it's not total replacment for the control but maybe there is what you need there. Edited September 10, 2007 by Arnon_Ayal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markdhanlon 0 Posted September 12, 2007 I called up Ikelite and it turns out that that o-ring kit is what they ended up ordering for me as it seemed the best fit for what I was looking for. But it still doesn't have the actual push button in it. I guess if I ever damage one of those, I'll just have to send the housing in to Ike. I'm just glad that their service centre is so willing to deal with people who don't really know what they want. Thanks for all the help everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
