Jack,
I went to the auto parts store and found a grommet that made a tight fit for the shaft through the barrel. I got lucky and found one that was a little tight and I used a round file to take out excess rubber and it worked perfect, no water leaks down the shaft.
Even though I went to the trouble to prevent water running down the shaft I don't think it will hurt the reducer at all.
Thanks for your compliment.
Wally

Here is a picture to help describe the type of grommet I used.

Thanks! And yes I have learned to not say a word because it usually comes out better after he tinkers and makes adjustments!

Hi all,

I'm new here.

Wally, I liked your version of the whizzbang plucker so much I decided to copy it.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery!

Anyway, here's mine:

Wednesday I'll try it out. I'm kind of worried the gap between the tub and the featherplate will be to wide (3,5 cm instead of 2,5 cm).
Fingers crossed...
