The next time I pull the thrusters off, I will add a picture of the fully assembled thruster alone. I have not added oil yet. This is a dry fit only. I am leaning towards doing what Alec did with his idea to add the SS set screw to the apex of the caps for fillings and to remove air. This is a great idea.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3038" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3037" dir="ltr">Cliff<br><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_2981"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3009"><br></div></div><br> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3035" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3034" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3033" dir="ltr"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3036"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3068" face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Rick Patton via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wednesday, May 20, 2015 9:56 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] MK101 oil compensation tap<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3067"><br><div id="yiv8206531285"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3083"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3082" dir="ltr">Any pictures Cliff?<div>Rick</div></div><div class="yiv8206531285gmail_extra" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3089"><br clear="none"><div class="yiv8206531285gmail_quote" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3088">On Wed, May 20, 2015 at 1:07 PM, Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br clear="none"><blockquote class="yiv8206531285gmail_quote" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3087" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid;"><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yiv8206531285yqt6458987942" id="yiv8206531285yqt73699"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3086"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432214470595_3085" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div><span></span></div><div></div><div dir="ltr"> Small Tygon flexible tube filled with oil.
