Do you use masking tape to help glueing in the tubes???
Over here I have told to use small piece of heatshrink that a car electrician would use.....

Yes a wrap of masking tape, then cut a groove down to the tube.... The tape takes up the slack and PU glue fills the groove and bonds everything firm...
I have used small brass sleeves and CA, but if the cases aren't spotless and grease free it won't stick and heatshrink will work but you have to bond the back of the case and I have busted toooo many transmissions that way.... For me this works:nooidea:
