Matty, I ended up using Pete's idea and getting a bolt about 250mm long, with a diameter of about 14 to 15mm. I cut down about 10mm in the middle...
Is this the nut and thread that's meant to have graphite packing? All I've got on the male end is some sort of gasket cum o ring type washer.........
Cheers Tony. Theres also the nut near the o ring in the photo on the bottom of the vapouriser tube, and the nut that holds the pricker rod.........
[ATTACH] The o ring seems to work where the fuel valve meets the fount, however, there seems to be fuel/air escaping from the gland nut on the...
Fibre Body Wahers seem to be the name of them Downunder, as in what I was trying to describe. I see the Viton are solvent resistant and better...

Thanks Pete... and Martin and Tony and Darryl... the list just keeps growing! I'll get some of those assorted tubes and the appropriate dies.......
