I just have the two top center nuts on the rocker bridges holding mine
on and it doesn't leak....

I was really careful about cleaning.

I have done others that don't leak too.

Here is a good link on vacuum crap:

Can anyone tell me where the other end of this hose goes? I can't find
an available nipple anywhere...
ftp://stuff.dyndns.tv/pub/hose1.jpg

Or what hose attaches to this nipple? I can't find a stray hose (of the
correct size).
