VERY big thanks to Jason from Bevtech.

Need to make some more permanent arrangements for the lines but in good shape.

Great news. I would have to do a lot of explaining to put that back in my basement.

Believe me I was not looking forward to telling the boss that the thing was fucked.
Man huge relief.

Going to hopefully have everything up and running by the weekend so pics for sure then.

Thanks again everyone for all your help.

oh X - Jason said he is actually getting out of the business so I'm not sure a sticky is a good idea.

Apparently there were a couple issues ...

There is a clear washer that goes between the shank and bar, those needed to be replaced.
Also there were extraneous parts in the shank's that were causing spaces.

Jason came by and fixed it up in minutes.
