Trevor,

That confirms what I was told. Funnily, none of the shops I have spoken to
know anyone with the equipment, which I could make myself with a lathe, some
rubber tubing, a pressure gauge, and a regulated compressor (maybe I will.)
Ny idea how much pressure one would apply? (Don't want to pop any seals.)
