i wasn't sure the clearance inside the cover. my ss tank is 10mm od i think so thats what i was loookin at.
so something like this might work:
Pyrex Vista Test Tubes - Tubes - Glass and Plasticware - Equipment & Supplies - Carolina Biological Supply Company
its a 10mm outside diameter. i haven't found anything about the inside diameter but it should be close depends how thick it is. as long as it fits inside the cover and fits over base you could perhaps use a different oring if needed....
So long as the wall thickness did not exceed .55mm then it should work. I have found 11mmOD x 9mmID tubing that would probably work for 20 bucks. Might give that ago.

id like to know a little more about this as well... i just ordered another 3ml syringe to make an extra tankNow if you can just knurl the pyrex![]()
I posted how i solved the "S" wire problem in the Croatian forum. I thought it is a good idea to post the info here also:

First, i put a cardboard washer (the ones that are used in the motherboards) to prvent a shortcircuit, then screwed one nut.
I bent the wire on one end forming an "o" shape, like this o----
then put the wire in the screw over the first nut, then the second nut.
As you can see the wire is bent over the second nut, it gives a better support and provides a "spring" effect against the brass bottom cap.
Sorry for my english.
Nice fix. Does the nut assembly stay in place when the positive screw gets turned? I don't know how thick that wire is but it would be a good idea to to put some heat shrink tubing on the lower part by the nuts as it looks like it is close to where the inner edge of the brass cap seats.
My fix was a single nut, and the s wire was soldered to the nut. that way ,the nut stay in place when the pos screw is turned.
Looks good!!!! What size nut? I like it

I still have mine as it came with no issues so far
The only thing I did was noalox the s-wire, cup and threads and everything has been flawless.
Well geuss who was playing with pyrex tonight
Yes I was bored and took some 5/8" pyrex and streched it to what I thought would be the correct ID.

Well unfortunantly the ID was a hair smaller than I needed and then I ran out of gas, so it is off to Lowes tomorrow for some more gas and I will try again.
But for the first attempt it does not look to bad!
