I looked up the bushing diameter on PSI website (PKSECRETC) and turned to those dimensions. I measured with calipers before starting and the diameter seemed a little small, the diameter at the endcap didn't seem important but the importance at the threaded end was less clear. I decided to go with the specified diameter (0.450) with a slight bulge. I'm not disappointed with the look, but the O-ring seems a little wonky. It bulges out unevenly and doesn't look the best. I wonder if it will be fine without the O-ring or if it will tend to unscrew on its own (obviously without an O-ring there will be greater risk of moisture issues). I have a few more of these in-progress, so I am wondering if a larger diameter will work better with the O-ring. Any advice or suggestions?
