First mod done.
And, suprisingly, it was a success. I have o-ring modded my brass collar (tophat & stem seat). I made a cutting tool from an allen-key (about an hour of winging it on a grind-wheel in the lathe’s chuck), then went at the brass. Any one of you lot would have cringed so hard your faces would have imploded. Gonzo machining. 😆
Yes, ok, it took me approx two hours, you lot would have done it in 20 minutes (probably less). I had to keep taking the bit off, checking it, trying to stuff an o-ring in it, back and forth. And what the hell is the deal with the o-ring?! MURDERS getting one in there. I destroyed five before I got the sixth in relatively un-scathed. I suppose there’s a trick to it?
Now I have to re-fill the bottle. 😮
