X264 "Pork Pie" Storm Lantern

Help! Please? I'm in the process of "fettling" my lamp but have hit a snag concerning the pump washer. Unlike other Tilley products the "pork pie" fount has an internal thread for the pump and the standard washer does not fit. The interior diameter is too small snd will not fit over the threads and the flange is not wide enough.Despite my stressing to the supplier of the type of fount, I have been supplied with a washer for an exterior thread. Could anyone advise me if the correct washer is available and from where?

Thanks,Jim

 

Never had a problem like this. Same washer fits both. Just stretch it a little over the threads. ::Neil::

 

Thanks, Neil, I will give it another go, with a bit more welly!

 

I do what Mackburner does (most of the time) but you can buy an 'old type' Tilley part 154 washer from The Base Camp for the 'pork pie' pumps.

Cheers
