Q:

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. 😮

Oh. Now that’s very weird. The last line was supposed to be “I took a photo, I’ll post it later”. I distinctly saw that line. Did I think it and then not type it? 😯 Twilight-Zone moment. 😯

Go ahead, shred me up good. 😆

Nothing about it. I used to enjoy a bit of tequila, but it started making me mean (which is preferable to going blind 😛 😆 ).

I meant, what about the last line of your post.

Wow.

I am very lost and confused….
