For some reason, my photos and prior posts were deleted. Perhaps they were too large for the webmaster to endure. Just some info -- The copper calibration rod in the KS unit was completely oxidized causing the unit to be completely plugged. I had to take an angle grinder and carefully slice open the reservoir to retrieve the old calibration rod to place in the new reservoir so the gauge is accurate. For a 7th/8th series, the KS reservoir is 3.25", and most importantly, I measured the calibration rod to measure 2.5" long and .090 in diameter, roughly the size of household electrical conduit.

Don't think anything was wrong with your posts. So far it appears pages from yours and at least two other subjects with posts done over the weekend have mysteriously gone missing.
