    The DIY is cool, but I'd be somewhat concerned with something as much of a fire hazard as coffee pots. I mean the base construction is so shoddy to begin with...

    The crimps sell in packages of 100 ct. for each size, so that would be too expensive for this repair.

    Edit, Newracer posted a picture of the Buchanan crimps.
    Would the purchase of a bag be useful for building an inventory of available parts for later projects?

    I'm not familiar enough with this stuff to have considered that. Addressing that question now and I'm not concerned since I'm replacing everything with factory identical parts.
