Well I got it working,,,, problem I encountered on final polishing and installing new orings was on the outter most cylinder the groove I cut for inner seal let loose. The way I did it was to use tube and soldered onto end a piece smaller diameter that I could cut the groove inside. Problem was when I soldered it the solder did not penetrate the whole piece. The grove was cut just a bit into the tube so without the solder wicking the entire piece the small ring is now loose. Now I've got to take all apart again solder it in place, re grove without de soldering end. Ahh the wonderful work of not doing it right the first time!!! I think what I did wrong was had tolerance too tight and that did not allow addiquate wicking of solder on entire surface. Sooner or later(apparently later) I'll get this working. And I also realized I need to rig up a pump and tank to use as a test machine. Slowly getting there.

And thanks for the input on # of stainless and McMaster grooving tools, I don't know how I missed them on that site!!
