OK guys REALLY appreciate the input. I just have to get this machine fixed one way or the other as I am going stir crazy with all this work due to be done (yes isolated in woodland with only the two old gits her both over 70 but keen to get on with it) and the supplier shop shutting up till mid April - and here was I thinking I had got 2 weeks extra hire! So took some better photos and put on thinking cap.
This is the inside with the cap (not bolt - not banjo - just an end cap) taken off and showing a circular (not hex) "connection/join" with the main cylinder
This is the end cap You can see the copper break just visible having straightened it somewhat from say 12 degree angle to about 5 degrees off perpendicular
From the side sorry about the focus
Internal view
To my uneducated eye it looks like either a press fit in the factory
or
One piece with the main cylinder which would be a mindless design (you never know!)
anyway it looks like a specialist repair with special tools
or
brazing and soldering
Given its location at the end of the garden 100 from the house, it looks as if it is necessary to get that bloody pin out so I will turn to that whilst others digest this new non-banjo info
