PR,
Guilty as charged /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif. FYI, two days ago I ordered the proper fittings from the surplus center and they should be here in a few days. Please, anyone out there thinking about doing a hydraulic project, use the correct hydraulic fittings. Spraying hydraulic oil IS very dangerous. Just to give you alittle background on my cylinder, it's 12 yrs. old and has been on 3 different pieces on machinery with those same black pipe fittings. It was one of those things that I used those fittings to test the unit and never got around to replacing them with the proper fittings. Everyone who is guilty of the above, please stand up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
