So i broke my new (to me) FX Dreamline

the sekhmet gauges are actually very good, i have a few on my reg test rigs, the fx gauge is not great, awkward to use, and not back lit.
 
The plastic/delrin washer you sometimes find fitted behind the gauges on FX guns are shite. The proper job is a x-ring and works really well and doesn't need tightening much at all. Well worth using one of those if anybody is having issues.

Obviously you can buy them much cheaper from some of the usual o-ring suppliers.

It's these that almost all FX guns use behind gauges.

They're dear there because it's 2. The more you buy, the cheaper they are, as usual with o-rings.

Bagnall sell them but then there's postage.

Just let me see if I have one anywhere mate, as I have a Katran loader for you to test. It will need revising though.... It works perfectly, but I want to make it work for the Krait as well, which apparently means I need to flip it to load from the other side. I never had a Krait to reference it.

At least you haven't stripped the threads, most screws should be just nipped up finger tight.
