that illistration up there is how the tops for my spirals are made, but the top is one part instead of 2.

hey jay, ever think of doing an acrylic top? its alot easyer to machine.

Edit:

what i did was machined a pocket for the top to sit into, with rounded corners (because o-rigns done like 90 degree corners) and i machined the acrylic tops with the rame rad. but .100 smaller on the tops, because an o-ring is 1.03. No grove to fit in, just wrap the o-ring around the step in the top, and fit it in. The problem I ran across is that the o-ring I need is an od ball size! Have to wait for the order of them to come in.
