Thank you, I'll look out for something similar.

Any pointers on that valve compression tool too?

Much obliged.

draper or sealy arent bad for price quality , but lever is best if you have a bench you can lever against or can weld something up similar to this Google Image Result for http://www.tooled-up.com/ShowImage.ashx%3FType%3D3%26File%3DSEAVS168.jpg%26Man%3DSEAL%26Size%3D250

James, on your text entry box can you see a little symbol that looks like a mountain range ?

click that then paste the URL of the image you want to display into it, and then, by magic
