progress

so far ive built a solenoid valve but i still need to test it. im slacking on that, theres a big air compressor i can use but its out in the country.

trying to figure out the final parts for piston and sleeve

have to match up all the diameters of everything

90% i like these parts:

outer sleeve: 4-1/2" 12 gauge tube

brass sleeve: 104mm ID

piston ring: 241 teflon o-ring 1/8" thick

outer piston: 4" 12 gauge tube w/ .078" cut for ring to sit in

top of piston: steel plate, not sure yet
