Sweet got it now, some things take a little longer :-) the brass outer I have is one size too big, I'll get a length if 5/16 which will fit into the strut and some 11/32 for the stuffing box. I never grew up with imperial fractions so use to metric. Can you please confirm my rather rough slap up diagram, cheers
