Hi Kim,Sorry for the slow reply, re the balls! Ok so these are what I’m talking about...https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=silicon+nitride+balls&_sacat=0The reason to go for these over stainless is they are ROUND......stainless may not be, well not quite as round!How hard they are shouldn’t be an issue as a non return as they dont open / close at a quick rate, hence beat the seat.<snip>Cheers Kerrin
Collets by 1/64? That's a major investment!
Yeah, that's what I was worried about, Chris - melting the screen. Which is why I didn't consider hard solder (at least not much ).Do you think Loktite would work? Seems like a filter screen on the intake isn't stressed THAT much. And it certainly won't be hot!Kim
