<![if !supportLists]>(a) <![endif]>Thanks for the rapid replies regarding the trouble I was having with the #$%^& regulator plug carrying the various wires, which plugs up into the regulator body.
<![if !supportLists]>(b) <![endif]>As with many of my minor projects, first I couldn’t get the #$%^ fast-ons in, and now that I’ve decided to eliminate the plug, I can’t get them out.
<![if !supportLists]>(c) <![endif]> Nevertheless even if it means destroying the plastic plug, I am determined to find an alternative, because,
<![if !supportLists]>(d) <![endif]>the rotten plug is meant to ‘capture’ the fast-on female connectors – which it does – is badly designed in that it does not prevent slight rotation of the females which in turn frustrates the joining of females in the plug to males in the regulator body. When such occurs, I usually make 5 tries, using whatever subterfuge accomplishes the feat. I made 10 tries here but success evaded me. My bride has now said she won’t fly in it because it’s built using language meant to destroy the earth.
<![if !supportLists]>(e) <![endif]>I will eliminate the plug and substitute a guard which ensures continual engagement and protects against rain etc.
Case closed – I hope.
