[QUOTE="TenOunce Tone, post: 9371, member: 288"] Hi again, Ok the corflex gasket did not cut the mustard, SO as discussed with GM and after a field trial of sorts in his front yard... A 6mm piece of reinforced rubber found its way into my garage. (Thanks GM) I then took out my trusty hole saw blades and fitted a 32mm and 54 mm blades on the bit and I found myself looking down the business end of this... [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/288/1368010192_hole_saw_setup.jpg[/img] I then clamped the piece of rubber on top of a bit of wood I had laying around the garage and proceeded to "burn rubber". The result was a rubber doughnut that fits tightly inside the body tube, I had to persuade the plunger back into the tube, so just be careful that you don't break anything, if you find you are having a hard time getting it back in the tube, just wet the rubber a bit, wiggle it a bit and it should slip in. Here is a pic of it attached to the plunger. The white item is the bottom a bucket I had laying around from my bucket sieve creation (Thanks Agman), I will be cutting two disks from the bucket bottom to make a plastic and rubber sandwich. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/288/1368010407_hole_saw_result.jpg[/img] I will give it a test and let you know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
