Good to see the finished product Ian. I usually put a smear of vaseline round the O-ring before tightening everything up. It's managed to keep the water out so far! Also just a little air should go in through the valve - the first time I tried it I used a bicycle pump and blew the O-ring out! I have disconnected the front plane dive mechanism to test out the theories we discussed earlier but the weather (and a holiday) have prevented any tests so far. Hopefully I'll be able to se what happens this coming weekend. Report to follow.
