The blind ends are just not appreciably larger once installed. Washers have been suggested, but those won't help either unless I can get the blind end to 'squish out' larger than the ID.

The internet signal was slightly more reliable, but the huge majority of the time, they were either both out, or both on. I did have to build a ~15' brush t; /html/shop-talk/2011-03/msg00285.html (11,050 bytes)
