the link didn't work on my computer, but even if it has a guide rod either take it out bend it and tape slash glue it underneath the phragm or just drill your hole to the side of the casing

its discussed(sp) here on the third or fourth page

you can use the solinoid to open the valve, but i don't think it will be as good as moden it

but that looks like a good price for it 14 bucks, shipping is probly 6

dilling the hole to the side is best bet i think, (but thats me)
