Chuck , it is the little things taht kill - see Bob Friendman's post on accidents - he says it is always a suprise to the guy who gets ot. Soft metal is best, like machineable brass. Tripple disk is good, 1/16" disks are good, and soldering the plug wtih a butane torch is how to keep from getting a cold hole, then use a disk and file the outer side of the plug so it will not cut the disk. I mostly use the 1/16 disks, and have them made, or you can make them with a shim punch and a sheet of copper. This is extremely expensive, maybe 10 bucks for the tool and another two or three for the copper. See my favorite cataglogue, Small Parts Inc in Miami. If you guys listen to me you could have a full set of the finest dive gear rigged perfectly and a real scooter for less thn you have in gear right now that is worthless. Trust me on that one, I can prove it. Just remember that some fat , dumb red neck is riding YOUR scooter right now, wearing your proper drysuit, and going to Cozumel with the rest of the proceeds.
