Where can I buy one of these torque adapters that is mentioned above?
Here is a link to a cheaper model:http://www.drillspot.com/products/70...Torque_Adapter
I am sure that it will do the trick. I built by own in my shop so I didnt buy them. Make sure that when you use the tourque adapter you use the convesion for the added length of the adapter used. The torque setting is reduced when using an adapter unless it is 90 degrees off the head of the torque wrench.

Headquarters uses CP Pistons and they come with a thcker pin clip that is just about impossible to install trying to hold the jug in place and fiddle witht he circlip. I launched one across the garage when asembling mine and took me an hour to find it.
Luke,
Nice job on the write-up and your pics showed one thing that is absulutely essential when doing any kind of build - cleanliness !
Hope it it turns out to be a fun ride !

Thanks for the positive replies guys.
Phast Lap, how did you get the circlips into the copper tube? It seems as though that would be next to impossible with the extremly stiff CP circlips.
If you used a pliers of some sort did it mar or scuff the circlip in any way?
It seems that it could be a great alternative if you can get the clip into the pipe w/o scuffing anything up.

Speaking of circlip install here is a great tool for puttin those little bugers in. Just use a piece of 3/4" copper tube. Put the clip inside then set the correct orientation. Then it is just tap,tap,tap.... and it will pop right into the groove.
