Chris ....yes I will try figure out how to rig this might just help maintain pressure.....don't want to have to travel and source a tb gasket

edit:

Here is my set up so that others might benefit: thick lock wire turnbuckles. These put great deal of constant pressure over an hour, on the connection; sprayed with CRC; wiggled it; tightened and wiggled. For some reason my tube is really tight!

For a while it looked like even with me pulling on it, it wasn't going to go....but on one last sharp pull it yielded under all the pressure!

It was a real hassle for something that should just pop on. There is no way you could maintain the amount force needed with your hands while in the car.

Wear safety glasses and be wary of your turnbuckle wrenches don't drop or fly off....there is a lot of tension that can be put on the wire braids.

Big thanks to Chris for the idea.....don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!
