sorner was a BIG help when I had to do the cylinders over for my 1772. He had all the sources and part numbers I needed. Cylinders you ask? I was originally just take the cylinder off that was leaking internally and replace it with one I bought that was "supposedly" gone over and working 100% with no leaks internally or externally. That replacement cylinder was even worse than the one I took off. So, I just bought 2 sets of seals and did both of them up at the same time. I measured where the parting line was for the cap on the cylinder, then smoothed out the existing weld and used a pipe cutter to open it up. This worked perfectly and had a nice edge to weld back together. The only problem I had was the plastic wire spool in the miller-matic decided to disintegrate. When the wire stopped feeding, I opened the side panel and what came out was like a tangled slinky.
