 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.
