Mactavish,
I was only trying to help in saying that, you only have to tighten enough so nothing leaks through it, it doesnt have to be torqued over tight. I did mine today and had it tight enough by hand and just gave it a little more ooomph and it was good

good idea mist no one can mess up doing it like that as long as they dont over do it. I didnt have to make mine that tight it seemed to work very easy
Macta, if you used pliers to put the new plastic inside the GGTS then you crossthread the new plastic and its permanently damaged.
But if the head of the black new plastic is touching the GGTS then you are ok. Please post a picture to show me what you mean

I read again your post and I understand better. You cant disapear the black nut by screwing more the new hex because plastic has a head and its nesesary to separate the old hex from the new one. This head cant disapeared. If you still screw the new hex the only that you will earn is to damage the plastic's internal threads. Dont use pliers as I said to my video because plastic will get damaged permanately.
So, unscrew a little the new hex and try to screw it again only by hand.

Macta,
I think I understand what you mean. You don't have to over tighten the part till the delrin part disappears. Just tighten it enough to hold. You don't need more.
Here is a picture of mine, which is probably the same as yours.

thanks everyone, a picture is worth a thousand words, and the great close-up you posted is exactly how mine looks, so all is GOOD!
Yes, indeed, it was not until I got it installed that I wondered about the "head", and did not want to undo it, as you state, the plastic has a "head", which cannot disappear, my mistake, it is now snug, not over tight. Now that the center pole is much tighter, it is NOW more important then ever to loosen the GTTS threads, place an Atty or Carto on top, and then tighten the GGTS body back. GREAT work on this update Imeo!
Thanks a lot Macta.
Hefner you are not very satisfied. Something is bothering you. Please say it

Thank's Imeo, my cap mod was delivered today and it fitted no problem. The best just got better.
thanks Daz and keon. The new parts contain 2 o-rings in there so you will never see a drop inside GG. Also if after 1-2 years the o-rings get old you can change them easily. Remember that every part of GG is user friendly and it can be changed with the easiest way by you
That's why we buy your product Imeo.. You make it so we can solve problems easily! I love being able to fix my own stuff and not having to send it back and wait...
Thanks a lot Wood my friend.
Really on the GG you can change everything. Front spring, button;s spring, front axis , fuse, connector, o-rings, plastics, button. Some of them exists on local stores and some of them you can order from me. But there is no way to send it back to me now after the machined threads I made to all GGs to have compatibility to updates
I WANT MINE NOW!!!!! Imeo, will my center pole I have now still work with this system or is it longer?
O and I use an 11mm socket to get my threads out to clean down inside the well. When you are doing this fix it would a good time to clean the inside of that too.....
Lisa took this photo for me to show me what it consisted of. Looks like a simple fix imeo. I still want mine now.... I have to keep an eye out for my AFS leaking down into my battery. Doesn't happen much but every now and then especially if my battery is getting low it will flood.

Its an extremely simple fix Vapn. I hadnt realise that GGTS was leaking when I first made it because mine was not leaking at all!! But users are the most reliable testers as always.
ps............. Lisa takes exellent photos
ps 2...... your existing center pole will work too Vapn. I had no intention to send a second center pole to my customers because it made my cost bigger but then I deside to do it because I wanted my people to have the minimum effort to replace it.

Imeo,
Very true. It makes it real nice when you can fix almost everything on your own, or update everything on your own. All GG's are very user friendly...and user serviceable.....Both HUGE pluses for me.
