It has a very tight fit on the bottle over a lip at the bottom of the cap, as well as 3 vertical ridges that have to line up on neck of the cannister with 3 grooves. The valve itself is a plastic disc that sits over the top of the bottle (on a lip/rim round the inside of it), with a rubber lip round it a spring that sits on top, and then the cap. When you open one up, the spring will ping out. The top is a very tight fit. Make sure if you use a lever (screwdriver etc) that you don't distort the shape of the cap or cannister neck, or chip or crack the neck of the cannister. It is pretty brittle now with the age it is, even though it was mean't to be pretty soft. I'm probably going to look for a complete cannister and valve to just bolt in, if I can work out how to get the old one out, with all the wires in place taking up a lot of the space? -- Carl Robson The poster formally known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
