Davide extracted the stuck blind plugs and re-threaded all missing ports. Completed manifold assembly, except for main inlet/outlet - left for plumber.

Cut 8x2 2m hoses and assembled with Swagelok quikfit and teflon ferrules.

We're missing back ferrules in brass for the repaired fees. It should be possible to buy them from GSI.

Attempted assembly of fee, Flexi rigid and black delrin support on bench. Davide shimmed the black delrin supports by 6.5 mm from ridge. They now fit length wise on new adaptor cards. Unfortunately, the decision to flip the connector means the Flexi rigid is no longer at the correct height for the erni connector in the fee. See attached.

Inserting the Flexi rigid without the black support is too dangerous, and defeats the point of having rails. Will probably mount Flexi rigids tomorrow on black support, not screw into the fee holder, and align by eye. Tried once and it works - see last two attachments - but it will have unclear impact on the ease to unmount the fee without damaging the Flexi rigid and will make mounting fee holder on flanges harder. No alternative solutions in current timeframe.
