Yes, I am the proud owner of a bag of parts!

In putting together the unit, I have found one major obstacle to overcome.

How do you get that huge Oring into the teensy-tiny hole?

Any and all comers welcomed.

It is a bother Jbrians, but fear not, with enough tribolube one can fit o-rings anywhere. I was talking mechanically Rob, get your mind out of the gutter.

Do check out Bryans video, it really helped me out. Getting those little buggers in for me is a snap now! Getting the old crusty ones out can be a headache though.

now that I know there are videos, I will take a look....my connection to the internet is so slow, browsing at random is a real drain on my patience.
I got it in...it took a bit of cursing! My fingers aren't as nimble as they used to be.
I can't believe I didn't order a darned duckbill! I thought I had one spare...
