[Rhodes22-list] portholes part 2

[John Lock]

Keep in mind that those ports are not all the same.  One set (I can't 
remember if it's the aft pair or the forward pair) have a very slight 
curvature in the base to match the slight curve of the cabin at that 
point.  If you just replace it with a straight base the seal will not be 
well made and it will leak.
