La007 Topic Author Offline Junior Boarder Posts: 74 Thank you received: 0	Should the be installed with the cupped side facing in or facing out, and be installed with a socket of slightly smaller diameter? Is there anything else that should be done? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Then take a flat ended object about 1/2 the OD and give it a good bump to flatten it out.----That operation expands the diameter to hold the plug in place.
