Oops, can I say that here?Anyway I did the old toothpick in the holes trick and its much easier, maybe even a bit too much with just one remaining hole. I dont think the tooth picks are particularly hygienic in the long-term so I think Ill machine some new tips from brass and just screw on the appropriate one depending on what Im doing ie will make one with one hole and another with two holes. However I dont have an appropriate tap size, as its not metric, so presume some form of pipe thread. Does anyone know what the thread is on this machine? Ill probably also make them without spanner flats as they seem to capture the old milk like a magnet. Just install them finger tight and remove with padded pliers.
