If you have or find any old builders sprit levels just break them up and remove the levels ,they do come in a few sizes though, push the replacement vile in and replace the cap , this is how I repair any broken ones I find.
The parts look great by the way ,plenty of elbow grease !

Thanks Rob. I will do that. I have some modern spirit viles, but they are both too tubby to fit.
I'll have to get some thin pin punches, too. All of mine were bought for working on the CMP, so you could imagine they are not quite petite enough for this job.
