Gepard is right. I beleive you can bolt that endcap on without too much trouble. It will be much like the top of a sprinkler valve is bolted down, and can e easily accesed for any problems that may occur.
You may need to mess with it a little to get the fit right.

how do i bolt it down? its not like a can get inside to put a nut there and hold it while i screw the bolt in...
i think i am going to go with schmanmans piston idea.. it will be a hassle but i am going to do it..it seems easier anyway

You have 841 posts and you don't know how to put some bolts in an end cap?

hes saying that he might have trouble holding the nut down while he screws the bolt in..........
basically, he needs 3 hands to make it work.

just use a femal adapter and a threaded bushing as an endcap.

[sarcastic] yea gepard thats smart!!! i am going to epoxy bolts in that i am goign to need to take out to service the piston! yes ill do that! [/sarcastic]
@ noname i ment it is impossible to put bolts in like that because i cant hold the bolts on the other side...it will be blocked off...
@ da pneu kid- can i get threaded bushings anywhere other than mcmaster? i havent seen them anywhere but there.. i might have to order off of there..unless ur talking about metal...that would be pretty damn heavy..i think i am jsut going with schmanmans piston idea

Spudthug, you use screws not nuts and bolts.Try some 3/4"long #10 Stainless sheet metal screws(make sure to drill pilot holes).This should cure your plug issues.But you will need an O-ring groove somewhere in there to stop the leaking.

Bolts would work fine without nuts on the other side, just tap the holes correctly and the bolt's threads will hold it in. If not, use machine screws.
