After discussions with Davide, changed the holes in the FEE holders for the bottom-right detector to slots in order to slightly change the angle that the FEE inserts into the flexi rigid PCB. This was sufficient, with some difficulties, to insert both FEEs into the flexi rigid.

Attempted to finally mount the last two fees, the top two for the bottom-right detector, which should have been very easy. Somehow managed to break one pin on each PCB in similar spots. One is in the third column (not in use), and one is in the fourth column (in use). This latter PCB connector was unfortunately dropped while trying to dismount it, and the ERNI connector cracked. That connector can be used anymore? Cannot find spares in GSI, must be in Edinburgh?

Dismounted all the hoses from the manifold, and starting to remove teflon from the plugs. Will use instead gaskets + anti-sieze compound. Quite a number of plug thread are damaged, likely in welding. Unclear if this was the reason behind the leaks. Should be done with the manifolds tomorrow.
