Thanks Ham Bone, I wanted something that would match my wires.

h3lz...I've been using Vice Grips brand vice grips...they shred the fitting. Have been avoiding heat to not ugly up my shine.

Now that I have the screwdriver in, I can't hold the keg down.

Hate to put it in a vice and I sure don't want to install it this way. Might try wrapping it in a towel and sticking it in the vice.

There is plenty of room to work on it installed with all the stuff off the engine.

Don't know why I forgot about that. Will go soak it with PB. I agree, It SHOULD be easily fixable once installed.

No, but I will get it figured out. Will take it to a friend with a machine shop. He can fix about anything.

Funny how the simple stuff can be so troublesome.

I put the keg in a vice padded thick with towels, got a big cheater pipe and CCCRRRAAACCCKKK, sounded like the manifold broke...alls well.

Thank you for the help, I appreciate it.
