With regard to the above, at present the length of stud which retains the alum cap is too short. When screwed right down, the wing nut fouls the strap. This stud requires lengthening approx. .156" to allow for take-up when the cork sealing washer becomes fully compressed. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring} | ||
