Careful with it going in - if you feel any resistance then don't force it as you could be stripping the threads. Found mine to be hard to get straight on to the plug threads with the rubber tube being slightly curved.Worry more about differences across the cylinders rather than the final figure. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
