Ok I need some other views on this... so here is a rough "sketch"

					   -[tank]

=========RSCB TUBe========

[trigger]

Main problems:
-Rscb is in the way
-the tank takes a lot of force to open
-the using a coat hanger, doesn't work because of the wire bends


Both the trigger and the pin have to pull to the left

Any Ideas?

Do something like in the AT2k, where the trigger is connected to a cylinder that rides along the pump tube, but in this case the rscb barrel. You could use a pvc coupling if you dremel the inside down nicely and lube it up.

You said that the coat hanger would bend? In that case, I'd say get some much thicker metal rod, and use that. Just thick enough that it won't bend under use, but you can still bend it using a vice.

The metal rod from those lawn flag things is pretty tough to bend. I would suggest using that.

I can bend that with bare hands. I mean, unless we're talking about different things.

I mean the markers that note position of buried cable and pipe and whatnot.

Alright guys thanks guys. IT's a bit too late, but thanks.

For those who care, I'm working for the Canadian military for the next 6 weeks... SO will not be able to see the forum during that time.

You should have posted something worth a one-month ban, just to get it out of your system.

Back to the mod - anything that doesn't require pliers (and ideally a vise) to bend will likely unbend, unless we're talking esoteric memory metals, etc. I'm talking stupid plain metal, because I'm a stupid plain kitty.

I've found few household items that have decent strength enough to work like this. This especially includes our favourite standby, clothes hanger wire. I did encounter an exception with the metal cross bar of a plastic hanger, the kind that has clothespins for skirts or pants attached to said bar.

You're better off going to a hardware store and looking for stiff wire. My local Ace has an assortment next to the brass bins.
