There has to be an edge for the plug to catch on. http://www.revbeergoggles.com/temp/plug.jpg is what they should look like. -- DougW |

At first it looked like a plug in half way and inside out. I had to download it to look closer, then the aspect managed to change to look right.... I agree with them being set in a little too.

There in lies a good part of my problem. I will take the manifolds off again and reset these in like the picture (third time - I should be able to do this in 15 minutes LOL). I'm curious that the tool that is supposed to help me install these sets them exactly flush, not in-set like that picture. Live and learn. Thank you, and everyone else, very much for all of this great technical info. |
