flush, as in the outside edge is flush? That's not seated unless your
talking about a dome type plug. There has to be an edge for the plug to
catch on.

That's what I was thinking. I always try for enough edge to be able
to stake it at 2-3 points around the hole.

LOL! Man is that 'ever' one reversing image! 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. The metal needs an edge to
grab.

You don't say! 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.
