Arri 2C FPS tachometer

The FPS tachometer on my Arri 2C sits inside the camera a few millimeters from the edge. Is this normal? When I look at it through the magazine port, I can see light coming in (pictured below).

There should be a gasket in that space. Perhaps you could make a DIY light seal to fill the gap.

See my blogpost on IICs for pictures of the gasket, about half way down:
