what a nightmare, tried again to do these backing ptfe/nylon seals and again fiting them caused them to distort and leak.

i rang the hydraulic firm that does our more specialised cylinders and they surgested i put a slit/cut across the ring at an angle. i tried that and it worked a treat!!! time will tell if it lasts.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
