I was thinking about that story when first reading this . Of course the Boz never really worked in that factory ...

Pete, I've head scratched about this all night. Were you taking the piss ? Your knowledge of these CARCS is nothing short of encyclopaedic. It's sorta like you held up a clutch lever and said, "where does this go"...

If this is pressed together- then is it possible tha tthe interference fit is not to spec? If the holder thingy is only a couple thousandths too small, then it could come loose. The scary thing is if they made one too small....what are the chances that there isa  whole batch of thingys too small?

I took my *Spare* seal carrier up to John yesterday and while we were there his offsider stuck some heat into it and was able to easily remove the spigot. Interestingly *My* one was obviously glued in with F#%* Off Green Loctite, the one that fell to bits had no evidence of any on its interface.

So one imagines that the cause is that while Eduardo was off looking for the elusive Mandello grease pot, Guiseppe strolled past and took the opportunity to pinch the factory's one small tube of green Loctite and the rest is history....... :evil:
