Do you know how to anchor the machine down? I am not seeing the normal anchoring brackets or pre-drilled holes I would expect. Is there something I should add to brace the machine? Thanks! |

I would try to get it to work with the original gasket if possible, you can try softening the gasket with a heat gun and maybe try inserting some stiff tubing inside of the gasket near the ends.
It may also stop leaking after a few runs, it also is much less likely to leak at the corners with dishes in the machine, a lot of vintage DWs will leak with no dishes in them.
If you do get an exact replacement in great condition go ahead and try it but try to save the original just in case the new one does not work.
Good Luck with this cool DW, I wish I could see its maiden run with a load of dirty dishes.
