Thanks for the input Bill. I'll take a look at the top hole to see if it is bronze. I figured that you would just pull the plug and seals out, just wanted to make sure.

btw - I believe the pics are linked, right click on them and go to either 'view image' (firefox) or 'properties' (internet exploror) to see they are hosted on a server I am paying for. I posted them using the IMG tags. Is there another way?
