Compression Release failure

hello
a quick note to rectify an error I made ...I thought one of the parts needle or part of the S & S electric defective compression could fall into the release cylinder.This accident can not happen at the bottom of the well of compression release, there is a closed bowl just with a small hole on the side to let the compression ...so no accident is possible, forum members had to know and had to laugh while reading the stupidity written on my post ... laughingI was influenced because I had in the past a screamin eagle hight compression engine or the predicted hole for compression release directly into the cylinder head ...now to give news.My system works well. I uninstalled the electric compression release and I installed alloy 14mm adapters, to give the height then I installed Jim's compression release on top.This allows you to push the buttons without burning your fingers,in modification I had just slightly modify the alloy adapters to get a long thread thread.after testing it works perfectly and the replacement cost is minimal2 adapters 14MM alloy 3/4 to 10mm Inside and 2 manual decompressors jim's 10mm.The height is good, voila if it can help ....
:worthless:

it works very well like that ...
I did not dismount to do the work, neither the rocker box nor the cover
it's very accessible, I had the specific socket S & S.
but it's still workable.
I thought also buy vulcan compression release 14mm long reach.
https://secure.vulcanworks.net/store/Compression-Release-Set-14mm-Long-Reach.html
and since I can not find 14mm to 14mm adapters on the market to have a bigger height ...
Just ask a mechanical workshop to make two adapters 14mm long thread to 14mm , giving an example to the workshop the old electric compression release to perform exactly the same model for the part to screw in the cylinder head. I inquired it is not very expensive ..

the price of two decompressors jim's or vulcan with two adapters will always be much more attractive than decompressors S & S electrical and mechanical compression are reliable ... it's my humble opinion

hi John
it is stainless steel, all compression release suffer from the same thing? will it still hold a moment? I had to try?
low rider 47 says it's been three years since he rolled this way.
for burns, and my finger sausage grilled I will put a tube of ointment in my pocket thank you for the advice ;)

It's 1 turn of the engine, and it closes.
