P38A A series of faults

I'm not using a huge amount of heat, just waving the heat gun at the plunger over a minute or so with the new insert loosely clamped in place in the hope that I will see it 'go' as it were, and so far it simply hasn't popped into place letting some of the insert past the lip so it is firmly gripped in place

But the existing stepped plug/insert has shrunk and gone hard, heating it up is doing nothing to it, I think it's basically too denurtured to recover

Ok,
personally i would have gone for the 20 minute solution , drill out old rubber and fill with potting compound.
I envy your enthusiasm for tinkering
Good luck i am off to watch The Wrath of Man - Jason Statham

Slooby said:

The old ones simply fell out, as for the potting compound I've been trying to work out which one to buy as I've been getting no where with my nitrile cord.

Enjoy the film, it's not one of his that I've heard of!
